Technical Summary:
DNS-SD/mDNS is widely used today for discovery and resolution of
services and names on a local link, but there are use cases to
extend DNS-SD/mDNS to enable service discovery beyond the local
link. This document provides a problem statement and documents a
set of requirements against which solutions can be designed and
measured.
Working Group Summary:
The WG generally reached strong consensus on all points, including
all requirements, in the document.
There was some specific discussion about whether wireless links
should be treated differently, but it was agreed that REQ9 should be
generalised and say "SSD should operate efficiently on common link
layers and link types."
The evolution of the other requirements was quite smooth with good
consensus.
Document Quality:
As a requirements document, a number of implementors/vendors have
expressed an interest in working towards a common, interoperable
solution for service discovery across multiple links.
No specialist review was required.
A separate threat analysis is being documented through
draft-rafiee-dnssd-mdns-threatmodel-01.
