DDoS Open Threat Signaling Agent Discovery
RFC 8973, “DDoS Open Threat Signaling Agent Discovery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by M. Boucadair, T. Reddy.K. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies mechanisms to configure DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) clients with their DOTS servers. The discovery procedure also covers the DOTS signal channel Call Home. It can be useful to know the appropriate DOTS server for a given location in order to engage mitigation actions. This is true even in cases where the DOTS client cannot localize the attack: cases where it only knows that some resources are under attack and that help is needed.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
