Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Call Home
RFC 9066, “Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Call Home”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2021 by T. Reddy.K, M. Boucadair, J. Shallow. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel Call Home, which enables a Call Home DOTS server to initiate a secure connection to a Call Home DOTS client and to receive attack traffic information from the Call Home DOTS client. The Call Home DOTS server in turn uses the attack traffic information to identify compromised devices launching outgoing DDoS attacks and take appropriate mitigation action(s).
The DOTS signal channel Call Home is not specific to home networks; the solution targets any deployment in which it is required to block DDoS attack traffic closer to the source(s) of a DDoS attack.
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.
