Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal
Channel Specification
draft-ietf-dots-signal-channel-27
Abstract
This document specifies the 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.
