Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Configuration Attributes for Robust Block Transmission

Overview

RFC 9362, “Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling Signal Channel Configuration Attributes for Robust Block Transmission”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2023 by M. Boucadair, J. Shallow. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies new DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel configuration parameters that can be negotiated between DOTS peers to enable the use of Q-Block1 and Q-Block2 Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) options. These options enable robust and faster transmission rates for large amounts of data with less packet interchanges as well as support for faster recovery should any of the blocks get lost in transmission (especially during DDoS attacks).

Also, this document defines a YANG data model for representing these new DOTS signal channel configuration parameters. This model augments the DOTS signal YANG module ("ietf-dots-signal-channel") defined in RFC 9132.

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.
