This chapter aims to provide a +roadmap and reference for this confusing space. The chapter does not +aim to be encyclopedically complete, however, as the key information +would then be lost in the noise. The curious are encouraged to click +on the "Updated by" links on the IETF pages to see the finer points, or +the "Obsoletes" links to go spelunking into the history of the DNS. + +DNSSEC gets its own section instead of being included in the "Core" +list because there are many DNSSEC related RFCs and it's helpful to group +them together. It's not a statement that DNSSEC isn't part of the "Core" +of the DNS. + +The IANA `DNS Parameters `_ registry is the offical reference site for all DNS +constants. + + +Core RFCs +--------- + +`RFC 1034 `_ + Introduction to the DNS and description of basic behavior. + +`RFC 1035 `_ + The core DNS wire protocol and master file format. + +`RFC 1995 `_ + Incremental zone transfer (IXFR). + +`RFC 1996 `_ + The NOTIFY protocol. + +`RFC 2181 `_ + Clarifications to the specification. + +`RFC 2308 `_ + Negative Caching. + +`RFC 2845 `_ + Transaction Sigatures (TSIG) + +`RFC 3007 `_ + Dynamic Updates + +`RFC 3645 `_ + GSS-TSIG. + + Note that dnspython does not currently have GSS-TSIG support. + GSS-TSIG is most frequently used when updating Microsoft + Active-Directory-based DNS servers. + +`RFC 5936 `_ + Zone transfers (AXFR). + +`RFC 6891 `_ + EDNS (version 0) + +`RFC 8020 `_ + Clarification on the meaning of NXDOMAIN. + +DNSSEC RFCs +----------- + +`RFC 4033 `_ + Introduction and requirements. + +`RFC 4034 `_ + Resource records. + +`RFC 4035 `_ + Protocol. + +`RFC 4470 `_ + Minimally covering NSEC records and On-line Signing. + +`RFC 6840 `_ + Clarifications and implementation Notes. + +Misc RFCs +--------- + +`RFC 1101 `_ + Reverse mapping name form for IPv4. + +`RFC 1982 `_ + Serial number arithmetic. + +`RFC 4343 `_ + Case-sensitivity clarification. + +RFCs for RR types +----------------- + +There are many more RR types than are listed here; if a type is not +listed it means it is obsolete, deprecated, or rare "in the wild". +Some newer types that are currently rare are listed because they may +well be more heavily used in the not-to-distant future. +See the +IANA `DNS Parameters `_ registry for a complete list. + +A + `RFC 1035 `_ +AAAA + `RFC 3596 `_ +CDS + `RFC 7344 `_ +CDNSKEY + `RFC 7344 `_ +CNAME + `RFC 1035 `_ +CSYNC + `RFC 7477 `_ +DNAME + `RFC 6672 `_ +DNSKEY + `RFC 4034 `_ +DS + `RFC 4034 `_ +LOC + `RFC 1876 `_ +MX + `RFC 1035 `_ +NAPTR + `RFC 3403 `_ +NS + `RFC 1035 `_ +NSEC + `RFC 4034 `_ +NSEC3 + `RFC 5155 `_ +NSEC3PARAM + `RFC 5155 `_ +OPENPGPKEY + `RFC 7929 `_ +PTR + `RFC 1035 `_ +RRSIG + `RFC 4034 `_ +SOA + `RFC 1035 `_ +SPF + `RFC 7208 `_ +SRV + `RFC 2782 `_ +TLSA + `RFC 6698 `_ +TXT + `RFC 1035 `_
