Abstract

OSI lower layer protocols, comprising the connectionless network protocol (CLNP) and supporting routing protocols, are deployed in some parts of the global Internet. Maintenance and debugging of CLNP connectivity is greatly aided by support in the Domain Name System (DNS) for mapping between names and NSAP addresses.

This document defines the format of one new Resource Record (RR) for the DNS for domain name-to-NSAP mapping. The RR may be used with any NSAP address format.

NSAP-to-name translation is accomplished through use of the PTR RR (see STD 13, RFC 1035^std13 for a description of the PTR RR). This paper describes how PTR RRs are used to support this translation.

This document obsoletes RFC 1348(-> 1637(-> 1706)) and RFC 1637(-> 1706).
