Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Specification
RFC 9132, “Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2021 by M. Boucadair, J. Shallow, T. Reddy.K. It obsoletes RFC 8782. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel, a protocol for signaling the need for protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks to a server capable of enabling network traffic mitigation on behalf of the requesting client.
A companion document defines the DOTS data channel, a separate reliable communication layer for DOTS management and configuration purposes.
This document obsoletes RFC 8782.
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.
