A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7216 Title: Location Information Server (LIS) Discovery Using IP Addresses and Reverse DNS Author: M. Thomson, R. Bellis Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2014 Mailbox: martin.thomson@gmail.com, ray.bellis@nominet.org.uk Pages: 18 Characters: 39389 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-geopriv-res-gw-lis-discovery-08.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7216.txt The residential gateway is a device that has become an integral part of home networking equipment. Discovering a Location Information Server (LIS) is a necessary part of acquiring location information for location-based services. However, discovering a LIS when a residential gateway is present poses a configuration challenge, requiring a method that is able to work around the obstacle presented by the gateway. This document describes a solution to this problem. The solution provides alternative domain names as input to the LIS discovery process based on the network addresses assigned to a Device. This document is a product of the Geographic Location/Privacy Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
