Dear dnssd WG participants,

We are initiating a WG Last Call today on draft-ietf-dnssd-mdns-dns-interop-02, as can be found at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnssd-mdns-dns-interop-02 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnssd-mdns-dns-interop-02>.

The call runs for two weeks, and will thus close on Thursday 31st March.

Please send any comments (including indications of support for progression of the document as is) to the [email-masked] list. This draft will not be advanced for publication unless there is sufficient response and support from the WG.  And, of course, any substantive comments on the draft are strongly encouraged as well. 

We will discuss the comments arising from the WGLC in the WG meeting in BA on Monday 4th April.

Abstract

   Despite its name, DNS-Based Service Discovery can use naming systems
   other than the Domain Name System when looking for services.
   Moreover, when it uses the DNS, DNS-Based Service Discovery uses the
   full capability of DNS, rather than using a subset of available
   octets.  In order for DNS-SD to be used effectively in environments
   where multiple different name systems and conventions for their
   operation are in use, it is important to attend to differences in the
   underlying technology and operational environment.  This memo
   presents an outline of the requirements for selection of labels for
   conventional DNS and other resolution systems when they are expected
   to interoperate in this manner.

Thanks,

Ralph and Tim
