A new Request for Comments is now available from the Network Information
Center in the online library at SRI-NIC.ARPA.
RFC 1101:
Title: DNS Encoding of Network Names and Other Types
Author: P. Mockapetris
Mailbox: PVM@ISI.EDU
Pages: 14
Characters: 28,677
pathname: RFC:RFC1101.TXT
This RFC proposes two extensions to the Domain Name System:
- A specific method for entering and retrieving RRs which map
between network names and numbers.
- Ideas for a general method for describing mappings between
arbitrary identifiers and numbers.
The method for mapping between network names and addresses is a
proposed standard, the ideas for a general method are experimental.
This RFC assumes that the reader is familiar with the DNS [RFCs 1034
and 1035] and its use. The data shown is for pedagogical use and does
not necessarily reflect the real Internet.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
