Working Group WG (opsawg) to consider the following document: - 'Operational
Considerations for use of DNS in IoT devices'
<draft-ietf-opsawg-mud-iot-dns-considerations-12.txt> as Best Current
Practice

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the

Abstract

This document details concerns about how Internet of Things devices
use IP addresses and DNS names. The issue becomes acute as network
operators begin deploying RFC8520 Manufacturer Usage Description
(MUD) definitions to control device access.

This document makes recommendations on when and how to use DNS names
in MUD files.

The file can be obtained via
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-mud-iot-dns-considerations/

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.

The document contains these normative downward references.
See RFC 3967 for additional information:
rfc1794: DNS Support for Load Balancing (Informational - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF))
rfc9019: A Firmware Update Architecture for Internet of Things (Informational - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF))
rfc8094: DNS over Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) (Experimental - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF))
