1.  Introduction

   The principal output of any domain name provisioning system is a DNS
   zone file, which contains the delegation record(s) for names
   registered within a zone (such as a top-level domain).  These records
   include, at minimum, one or more NS records, but may also include A
   and/or AAAA glue records, DS records, and DNAME records for IDN
   variants ([RFC6927]).

   Typically, the Time-To-Live (TTL, see Section 5 of [RFC8499]) of
   these records is determined by the registry operator.  However, in
   some circumstances it may be] desirable to allow the sponsoring
   client of a domain name to change the TTL used for a that domain: for
   example, to reduce the amount of time required to complete a change
   of DNS servers or DNSSEC deployment of key rollover, or to allow for
   fast rollback of such changes.

Internet-Draft             TTL mapping for EPP             November 2022

   This document describes an EPP extension to the domain name and host
   object mappings (described in [RFC5731] and [RFC5732], respectively)
   which allows the sponsor of a domain name or host object to change
   the TTL associated with that object.

1.1.  Conventions used in this document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not REQUIRED features of this protocol.

   A protocol client that is authorized to manage an existing object is
   described as a "sponsoring" client throughout this document.

   XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
   and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
   character case presented in order to develop a conforming
   implementation.

   EPP uses XML namespaces to provide an extensible object management
   framework and to identify schemas required for XML instance parsing
   and validation.  These namespaces and schema definitions are used to
   identify both the base protocol schema and the schemas for managed
   objects.

   The XML namespace prefixes used in examples (such as the string ttl
   in xmlns:ttl) are solely for illustrative purposes.  A conforming
   implementation MUST NOT require the use of these or any other
   specific namespace prefixes.

2.  Extension elements

   This specification defines a two new elements that are included in
   <info>, <create> and <update> commands:

   *  <ttl:secs>, which contains a 32-bit unsigned integer indicating
      the TTL (expressed in seconds) which will be applied to the
      delegation records for the associated domain name or host object;
      and

   *  <ttl:until>, which contains a date and time after which a TTL
      (specified using the <ttl:secs> element) should revert to the
      server's default value.

Brown                      Expires 20 May 2023                  [Page 3]
Internet-Draft             TTL mapping for EPP             November 2022

   Examples:

   <secs xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ttl-1.0">3600</secs>

<until xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ttl-1.0">2022-12-01T08:00:00.0Z</until>

   The <ttl:until> element is OPTIONAL in <create>, <update> and <info>
   commands.  EPP servers which do not support this element MUST reject
   commands which contain it with a 2012 "Unimplemented option"
   response.

   Conversely, EPP servers whose policies require the use of the
   <ttl:until> element MUST reject commands which do not contain it with
   a 2003 "Required parameter missing" response.

3.  EPP command mapping

3.1.  EPP query commands

3.1.1.  EPP <info> command

   This extension defines additional elements for EPP <info> responses
   for domain and host objects.

   The <info> response MAY contain an <extension> element, which MAY
   contain a <ttl:infData> element, which contains the following child
   elements:

   *  A <ttl:secs> element showing the current TTL for the object; and

   *  An OPTIONAL <ttl:until> element containing the date and time after
      which the TTL will revert to the server's default value.

   The <ttl:until> MUST NOT appear in <info> responses if: (1) the
   server does not support this element, (2) the object already has the
   server's default TTL value, or (3) the server does not implement
   automatic reversion of custom TTL values.

   Example domain <info> response:

3.2.  EPP transform commands

3.2.1.  EPP <create> command

   This extension defines additional elements for EPP <create> commands
   for domain and host objects.

   The <create> command MAY contain an <extension> element which MAY
   contain a <ttl:create> element, which contains the following child
   elements:

   This extension defines additional elements for EPP <update> commands
   for domain and host objects.

   The <update> command MAY contain an <extension> element which MAY

   EPP servers which do not support the <ttl:until> element MUST reject
   commands which contain it with a 2012 "Unimplemented option"
   response.

4.  Server processing of TTL values

   If an EPP server receives a command containing a TTL that is outside
   the server's permitted range (see Operational considerations and
   Security considerations below), it MUST reject the command with a
   2004 "Parameter value range error" response.

4.1.  Use of TTL values in delegation records

   EPP servers which implement this extension SHOULD use the values
   provided by EPP clients for the TTL values of NS, A, AAAA and DS
   records published in the DNS for the corresponding delegation.

4.2.  Relationship between host object and domain object TTL values

   The extension in this document allows TTL values to be configured for
   both domain and host objects.  In domain name registries, these
   object types have a hierarchical relationship, in that a host object
   may be subordinate to a domain object: for example, the host object
   ns1.example.com is subordinate to the domain object example.com.

   When publishing A and AAAA for host objects, TTL values for host
   objects SHOULD take precedence over the TTL of the superordinate
   domain object.  However, if no TTL value is configured for a
   subordinate host object, but a TTL value is configured for the
   superordinate domain object, then the domain object's TTL value
   SHOULD be used for the host object instead of the default TTL value.

4.3.  Use of TTL values for IDN variants

   If a domain name has variants ([RFC6927]) that are linked to that
   domain, then any NS or DNAME records published for those variants
   MUST use the same TTL as that used for the primary domain.

5.  Out-of-band changes to TTL values

   EPP server operators MAY, in order to address operational or security
   issues, make changes to TTL values out-of-band (that is, not in
   response to an <update> command received from the sponsoring client).

   Additionally, server operators MAY implement an automatic reset of
   TTL values, so that they may be changed for a finite period before
   and after a planned change, and then revert to a standard value.

   In the event of changes to TTL values taking place out-of-band, EPP
   server operators SHOULD notify the sponsoring client using the EPP
   Change Poll extension ([RFC8590]).

6.  Operational considerations

6.1.  Operational impact of TTL values

   Domain registry operators must strike a balance between, on the one
   hand, the desire of registrants for changes to their domains to be
   visible in the DNS quickly, and on the other, the increased DNS query
   traffic that short TTLs can bring.  Historically, registry operators
   have used a global TTL value which was applied to all delegations
   within their zones, which could then be tuned to an optimum value.

Brown                      Expires 20 May 2023                 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft             TTL mapping for EPP             November 2022

   Domain registry operators SHOULD implement limits on the maximum and
   minimum accepted TTL values that are narrower than the values
   permitted in the XML schema in the Formal specification (which were
   chosen to allow any TTL permitted in DNS records), in order to
   prevent scenarios where an excessively high or low TTL causes
   operational issues on either side of the zone cut.

   Similarly, EPP servers which support the <ttl:until> element MUST
   reject commands (with a 2004 "parameter value range error" response)
   if the specified date and time is in the past, or is otherwise
   outside a server-defined range of acceptable values.

   EPP servers MAY vary the range of acceptable values for the
   <ttl:until> element based on the value of the <ttl:secs> element: for
   example, to allow the setting of a very short TTL for a short period
   of time, while permitting longer TTLs to be used for longer periods,
   as the following table illustrates:

                  +=================+==================+
                  | TTL value range | Maximum duration |
                  +=================+==================+
                  |      0-60s      |        -         |
                  +-----------------+------------------+
                  |     61-299s     |      3600s       |
                  +-----------------+------------------+
                  |    300-1099s    |      43200s      |
                  +-----------------+------------------+
                  |    1200-3599s   |      86400s      |
                  +-----------------+------------------+
                  |     >= 3600s    |       any        |
                  +-----------------+------------------+

                      Table 1: Example TTL/Duration
                               Policy Table

   In the above policy, the default TTL is one hour, and the server will
   reject any TTL below 60 seconds.  Clients can set TTLs of between one
   and five minutes for a maximum of one hour, or between five minutes
   and thirty minutes for up to twelve hours, or between 30 minutes and
   one hour for up to one day.

6.2.  When the TTL should be changed

   A common operational mistake is changing of DNS record TTLs during or
   after the planned change to the records themselves.  This arises due
   to a misunderstanding about how TTLs work.

Brown                      Expires 20 May 2023                 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft             TTL mapping for EPP             November 2022

   Client implementations of this specification SHOULD ensure that the
   user understands that changes to a TTL are only effective in
   shortening transition periods if implemented a period of time -- at
   least equal to the current TTL -- _before_ the planned change.

7.  Security considerations

   Many malicious actors use a technique called "fast flux DNS" to
   rapidly change the DNS configuration for a zone in order to evade
   takedown and law enforcement activity.

   Registry operators SHOULD take this into consideration when setting
   the lower limit on TTL values, since a short TTL on delegations has
   the potential to enhance the effectiveness of fast flux techniques on
   evasion.

8.  IANA considerations

8.1.  XML namespace

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].  The
   following URI assignment has been made by IANA:

      *URI:* urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ttl-1.0

      *Registrant Contact:* See the author of this document

      *XML:* See the "Formal specification" section of this document

8.2.  EPP extension registry

   The EPP extension described in this document has been registered by
   the IANA in the Extensions for the "Extensible Provisioning Protocol
   (EPP)" registry described in [RFC7451].  The details of the
   registration are as follows:
