                         DNS Push Notifications

Abstract

   The Domain Name System (DNS) was designed to return matching records
   efficiently for queries for data that are relatively static.  When
   those records change frequently, DNS is still efficient at returning
   the updated results when polled, as long as the polling rate is not
   too high.  But, there exists no mechanism for a client to be
   asynchronously notified when these changes occur.  This document
   defines a mechanism for a client to be notified of such changes to
   DNS records, called DNS Push Notifications.

1.  Introduction

   Domain Name System (DNS) records may be updated using DNS Update
   [RFC2136].  Other mechanisms such as a Discovery Proxy [RFC8766] can
   also generate changes to a DNS zone.  This document specifies a
   protocol for DNS clients to subscribe to receive asynchronous
   notifications of changes to RRsets of interest.  It is immediately
   relevant in the case of DNS DNS-based Service Discovery [RFC6763] but is
   not limited to that use case.  It also case; it provides a general DNS mechanism for
   DNS record change notifications.  Familiarity with the DNS protocol
   and DNS packet formats is assumed [RFC1034] [RFC1035] [RFC6895].

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

1.2.  Fatal Errors

   Certain invalid situations are described in this specification specification, such
   as a server sending a Push Notification subscription request to a
   client
   client, or a client sending a Push Notification response to a server.
   These should never occur with a correctly implemented client and
   server, and if they do occur, then they indicate a serious
   implementation error.  In these extreme cases, there is no reasonable
   expectation of a graceful recovery, and the recipient detecting the
   error should respond by unilaterally aborting the session without
   regard for data loss.  Such cases are addressed by having an engineer
   investigate the cause of the failure and fixing the problem in the
   software.

   Where this specification says "forcibly abort", it means sending a
   TCP RST to terminate the TCP connection and the TLS session running
   over that TCP connection.  In the BSD Sockets API, this is achieved
   by setting the SO_LINGER option to zero before closing the socket.

2.  Motivation

   As the domain name system continues to adapt to new uses and changes
   in deployment, polling has the potential to burden DNS servers at
   many levels throughout the network.  Other network protocols have
   successfully deployed a publish/subscribe model following the
   Observer design pattern [OBS].  Extensible Messaging and Presence
   Protocol (XMPP) Publish-Subscribe [XEP0060] and Atom [RFC4287] are
   examples.  While DNS servers are generally highly tuned and capable
   of a high rate of query/response traffic, adding a publish/subscribe
   model for tracking changes to DNS records can deliver a more timely
   notification
   notifications of changes with reduced CPU usage and lower network
   traffic.

   The guiding design principle of DNS Push Notifications is that
   clients that choose to use DNS Push Notifications, instead of
   repeated polling with DNS queries, will receive the same results as
   they could via sufficiently rapid polling, except more efficiently.
   This means that the rules for which records match a given DNS Push
   Notification subscription are the same as the already established
   rules used to determine which records match a given DNS query
   [RFC1034].  For example, name comparisons are done in a case-
   insensitive manner, and a record of type CNAME in a zone matches any
   DNS TYPE in a query or subscription.

   Multicast DNS [RFC6762] implementations always listen on a well-known
   link-local IP multicast group address, and changes are sent to that
   multicast group address for all group members to receive.  Therefore,
   Multicast DNS already has asynchronous change notification
   capability.  When DNS DNS-based Service Discovery [RFC6763] is used
   across a wide area network using Unicast DNS (possibly facilitated
   via a Discovery Proxy [RFC8766]), it would be beneficial to have an
   equivalent capability for Unicast DNS in order to allow clients to
   learn about DNS record changes in a timely manner without polling.

   The DNS Long-Lived Queries (LLQ) mechanism [RFC8764] is an existing
   deployed solution to provide asynchronous change notifications; it
   was first used by Apple's Back to My Mac [RFC6281] service introduced in
   Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in 2007.  Back to My Mac was designed in an era
   when the data center operations staff asserted that it was impossible
   for a server to handle large numbers of mostly idle TCP connections, so even if
   those connections carried very little traffic and spent most of their
   time idle.  Consequently, LLQ was defined as a UDP-based protocol,
   effectively replicating much of TCP's connection state management
   logic in user space and creating its own imitation of existing TCP
   features like
   the three-way handshake, flow control, reliability, and reliability. the three-way handshake.

   This document builds on experience gained with the LLQ protocol, with
   an improved design.  Instead of using UDP, this specification uses
   DNS Stateful Operations (DSO) [RFC8490] running over TLS over TCP,
   and therefore doesn't need to reinvent existing TCP functionality.
   Using TCP also gives long-lived low-traffic connections better
   longevity through NAT gateways without depending on the gateway to
   support NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) [RFC6886] or Port Control
   Protocol (PCP) [RFC6887], or resorting to excessive keepalive
   traffic.

3.  Overview

   A DNS Push Notification client subscribes for Push Notifications for
   a particular RRset by connecting to the appropriate Push Notification
   server for that RRset and sending DSO message(s) indicating the
   RRset(s) of interest.  When the client loses interest in receiving
   further updates to these records, it unsubscribes.

   The DNS Push Notification server for a DNS zone is any server capable
   of generating the correct change notifications for a name.  It may be
   a primary, secondary, or stealth name server [RFC8499].

   The "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record for a zone MAY reference
   the same target host and port as that zone's
   "_dns-update-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record.  When the same target host
   and port is offered for both DNS Updates and DNS Push Notifications,
   a client MAY use a single DSO session to that server for both DNS
   Updates and DNS Push Notification subscriptions.  DNS Updates and DNS
   Push Notifications may be handled on different ports on the same
   target host, in which case they are not considered to be the "same
   server" for the purposes of this specification, and communications
   with these two ports are handled independently.  Supporting DNS
   Updates and DNS Push Notifications on the same server is OPTIONAL.  A
   DNS Push Notification server is not required to support DNS Update.

   Standard DNS Queries MAY be sent over a DNS Push Notification (i.e.,
   DSO) session.  For any zone for which the server is authoritative, it
   MUST respond authoritatively for queries for names falling within
   that zone (e.g., the "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record) both for
   normal DNS queries and for DNS Push Notification subscriptions.  For
   names for which the server is acting as a recursive resolver (e.g.,
   when the server is the local recursive resolver) for any query for
   which it supports DNS Push Notification subscriptions, it MUST also
   support standard queries.

   DNS Push Notifications impose less load on the responding server than
   rapid polling would, but Push Notifications do still have a cost.
   Therefore, DNS Push Notification clients MUST NOT recklessly create
   an excessive number of Push Notification subscriptions.
   Specifically:

   (a)  A subscription should only be active when there is a valid
        reason to need live data (for example, an on-screen display is
        currently showing the results to the user), and the subscription
        SHOULD be canceled as soon as the need for that data ends (for
        example, when the user dismisses that display).  In the case of
        a device like a smartphone that, after some period of
        inactivity, goes to sleep or otherwise darkens its screen, it
        should cancel its subscriptions when darkening the screen (since
        the user cannot see any changes on the display anyway) and
        reinstate its subscriptions when reawakening from display sleep.

   (b)  A DNS Push Notification client SHOULD NOT routinely keep a DNS
        Push Notification subscription active 24 hours a day, 7 days a
        week, just to keep a list in memory up to date so that if the
        user does choose to bring up an on-screen display of that data,
        it can be displayed really fast.  DNS Push Notifications are
        designed to be fast enough that there is no need to pre-load a
        "warm" list in memory just in case it might be needed later.

   Generally, as described in the DNS Stateful Operations specification
   [RFC8490], a client must not keep a DSO session to a server open
   indefinitely if it has no subscriptions (or other operations) active
   on that session.  A client may close should begin closing a DSO session
   immediately after it becomes idle, and then then, if needed in the future,
   open a new session when required.  Alternatively, a client may
   speculatively keep an idle DSO session open for some time, subject to
   the constraint that it must not keep a session open that has been
   idle for more than the session's idle timeout (15 seconds by default)
   [RFC8490].

   Note that a DSO session that has an active DNS Push Notification
   subscription is not considered idle, even if there is no traffic
   flowing for an extended period of time.  In this case, the DSO
   inactivity timeout does not apply apply, because the session is not
   inactive, but the keepalive interval does still apply apply, to ensure the
   generation of sufficient messages to maintain state in middleboxes
   (such at NAT gateways or firewalls) and for the client and server to
   periodically verify that they still have connectivity to each other.
   This is described in Section 6.2 of the DSO specification [RFC8490].

4.  State Considerations

   Each DNS Push Notification server is capable of handling some finite
   number of Push Notification subscriptions.  This number will vary
   from server to server and is based on physical machine
   characteristics, network bandwidth, capacity, and operating system resource
   allocation.  After a client establishes a session to a DNS server,
   each subscription is individually accepted or rejected.  Servers may
   employ various techniques to limit subscriptions to a manageable
   level.  Correspondingly, the client is free to establish simultaneous
   sessions to alternate DNS servers that support DNS Push Notifications
   for the zone and distribute subscriptions at the client's discretion.
   In this way, both clients and servers can react to resource
   constraints.

5.  Transport

   Other DNS operations like DNS Update [RFC2136] MAY use either DNS
   over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) [RFC0768] or DNS over Transmission
   Control Protocol (TCP) [RFC0793] as the transport protocol, in keeping with provided
   they follow the historical precedent that DNS queries must first be
   sent using DNS over UDP and only switch to DNS over TCP if needed
   [RFC1123].  This requirement to use prefer UDP has subsequently been
   relaxed [RFC7766].

   In keeping with the more recent precedent, DNS Push Notification is
   defined only for TCP.  DNS Push Notification clients MUST use DNS
   Stateful Operations [RFC8490] running over TLS over TCP [RFC7858].

   Connection setup over TCP ensures return reachability and alleviates
   concerns of state overload at the server, which is a potential problem with
   connectionless protocols, which can be more vulnerable to being
   exploited by attackers using spoofed source addresses.  All
   subscribers are guaranteed to be reachable by the server by virtue of
   the TCP three-way handshake.  Flooding attacks are possible with any
   protocol, and a benefit of TCP is that there are already established
   industry best practices to guard against SYN flooding and similar
   attacks [SYN] [RFC4953].

   Use of TCP also allows DNS Push Notifications to take advantage of
   current and future developments in TCP such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP)
   [RFC6824], TCP Fast Open (TFO) [RFC7413], the TCP RACK fast loss
   detection algorithm [TCPM-RACK], [TCPRACK], and so on.

   Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC8446] is well understood and is
   used by many application-layer protocols running over TCP.  TLS is
   designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
   TLS is REQUIRED for every connection between a client subscriber and
   server in this protocol specification.  Additional security measures
   such as client authentication during TLS negotiation may also be
   employed to increase the trust relationship between client and
   server.

6.  Protocol Operation

   The DNS Push Notification protocol is a session-oriented protocol and
   makes use of DNS Stateful Operations (DSO) [RFC8490].

   For details of the DSO message format, refer to the DNS Stateful
   Operations specification [RFC8490].  Those details are not repeated
   here.

   DNS Push Notification clients and servers MUST support DSO.  A single
   server can support DNS Queries, DNS Updates, and DNS Push
   Notifications (using DSO) on the same TCP port.

   A DNS Push Notification exchange begins with the client discovering
   the appropriate server, using the procedure described in Section 6.1,
   and then making a TLS/TCP connection to it.

   A

   After making the TLS/TCP connection to the server, a typical DNS Push
   Notification client will then immediately issue a DSO Keepalive
   operation to establish the DSO session and request a session timeout
   and/or keepalive interval longer than the 15-second default values,
   but this is not required.  A DNS Push Notification client MAY issue
   other requests on the session first first, and only issue a DSO Keepalive
   operation later if it determines that to be necessary.  Sending
   either a DSO Keepalive operation or a Push Notification subscription
   request over the TLS/
   TCP TLS/TCP connection to the server signals the
   client's support of DSO and serves to establish a DSO session.

   In accordance with the current set of active subscriptions, the
   server sends relevant asynchronous Push Notifications to the client.
   Note that a client MUST be prepared to receive (and silently ignore)
   Push Notifications for subscriptions it has previously removed, since
   there is no way to prevent the situation where a Push Notification is
   in flight from server to client while the client's UNSUBSCRIBE
   message canceling that subscription is simultaneously in flight from
   client to server.

6.1.  Discovery

   The first step in establishing a DNS Push Notification subscription
   is to discover an appropriate DNS server that supports DNS Push
   Notifications for the desired zone.

   The client begins by opening a DSO session to its normal configured
   DNS recursive resolver and requesting a Push Notification
   subscription.  This connection is made to TCP port 853, the default
   port for DNS over TLS [RFC7858].  If the request for a Push
   Notification subscription is successful, and the recursive resolver
   doesn't already have an active subscription for that name, type, and
   class, then the recursive resolver will make a corresponding Push
   Notification subscription on the client's behalf.  Results received
   are relayed to the client.  This is closely analogous to how a client
   sends a normal DNS query to its configured DNS recursive resolver
   that, resolver,
   which, if it doesn't already have appropriate answer(s) in its cache,
   issues an upstream query to satisfy the request.

   In many contexts, the recursive resolver will be able to handle Push
   Notifications for all names that the client may need to follow.  Use
   of VPN tunnels and Private DNS [RFC8499] can create some additional
   complexity in the client software here; the techniques to handle VPN
   tunnels and Private DNS for DNS Push Notifications are the same as
   those already used to handle this for normal DNS queries.

   If the recursive resolver does not support DNS over TLS, or supports
   DNS over TLS but is not listening on TCP port 853, or supports DNS
   over TLS on TCP port 853 but does not support DSO on that port, then
   the DSO session establishment will fail [RFC8490].

   If the recursive resolver does support DSO on TCP port 853 but does
   not support Push Notification subscriptions, then it when the client
   attempts to create a subscription, the server will return the DSO
   error code DSOTYPENI (11).

   In some cases, the recursive resolver may support DSO and Push
   Notification subscriptions but may not be able to subscribe for Push
   Notifications for a particular name.  In this case, the recursive
   resolver should return SERVFAIL to the client.  This includes being
   unable to establish a connection to the zone's DNS Push Notification
   server or establishing a connection but receiving a non-success
   response code.  In some cases, where the client has a pre-established
   trust relationship with the owner of the zone (that is not handled
   via the usual mechanisms for VPN software), the client may handle
   these failures by contacting the zone's DNS Push Notification server
   directly.

   In any of the cases described above where the client fails to
   establish a DNS Push Notification subscription via its configured
   recursive resolver, the client should proceed to discover the
   appropriate server for direct communication.  The client MUST also
   determine on which TCP port on the server is listening for connections,
   which need not be (and be, and often is not) the typical not, TCP port 53 (traditionally used
   for conventional DNS, DNS) or the TCP port 853 (traditionally used for DNS
   over TLS. TLS).

   The discovery algorithm described here is an iterative algorithm,
   which starts with the full name of the record to which the client
   wishes to subscribe.  Successive SOA queries are then issued,
   trimming one label each time, until the closest enclosing
   authoritative server is discovered.  There is also an optimization to
   enable the client to take a "short cut" directly to the SOA record of
   the closest enclosing authoritative server in many cases.

   1.  The client begins the discovery by sending a DNS query to its
       local resolver, with record type SOA [RFC1035] for the record
       name to which it wishes to subscribe.  As an example, suppose the
       client wishes to subscribe to PTR records with the name
       _ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com
       "_ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com" (to discover Internet Printing
       Protocol (IPP) printers [RFC8010] [RFC8011] being advertised in
       the head office of Example Company).  The client begins by
       sending an SOA query for _ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com "_ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com" to
       the local recursive resolver.  The goal is to determine the
       authoritative
       server that is authoritative for the name
       _ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com.
       "_ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com".  The closest enclosing DNS
       zone containing the name _ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com "_ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com" could
       be
       example.com, "example.com", or headoffice.example.com, "headoffice.example.com", or
       _tcp.headoffice.example.com,
       "_tcp.headoffice.example.com", or even
       _ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com.
       "_ipp._tcp.headoffice.example.com".  The client does not know in
       advance where the closest enclosing zone cut occurs, which is why
       it uses the iterative procedure described here to discover this
       information.

   2.  If the requested SOA record exists, it will be returned in the
       Answer section Section with a NOERROR response code, and the client has
       succeeded in discovering the information it needs.

       (This language is not placing any new requirements on DNS
       recursive resolvers.  This text merely describes the existing
       operation of the DNS protocol [RFC1034] [RFC1035].)

   3.  If the requested SOA record does not exist, the client will get
       back a NOERROR/NODATA response or an NXDOMAIN/Name Error
       response.  In either case, the local resolver would normally
       include the SOA record for the closest enclosing zone of the
       requested name in the Authority Section.  If the SOA record is
       received in the Authority Section, then the client has succeeded
       in discovering the information it needs.

       (This language is not placing any new requirements on DNS
       recursive resolvers.  This text merely describes the existing
       operation of the DNS protocol regarding negative responses
       [RFC2308].)

   4.  If the client receives a response containing no SOA record, then
       it proceeds with the iterative approach.  The client strips the
       leading label from the current query name, and if the resulting
       name has at least two labels in it, then the client sends an SOA
       query for that new name.  Processing then name and processing continues at step 2 above,
       repeating the iterative search until either an SOA is received or
       the query name consists of a single label, i.e., a Top-Level
       Domain (TLD).  In the case of a single-label name (TLD), this is
       a network configuration error, which should not happen, and the
       client gives up.  The client may retry the operation at a later
       time of the client's choosing, such as after a change in network
       attachment.

   5.  Once the SOA is known (either by (by virtue of being seen either in the
       Answer Section or in the Authority Section), the client sends a
       DNS query with type SRV [RFC2782] for the record name
       "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>", where <zone> is the owner name of
       the discovered SOA record.

   6.  If the zone in question is set up to offer DNS Push
       Notifications, then this SRV record MUST exist.  (If this SRV
       record does not exist, then the zone is not correctly configured
       for DNS Push Notifications as specified in this document.)  The
       SRV "target" contains the name of the server providing DNS Push
       Notifications for the zone.  The port number on which to contact
       the server is in the SRV record "port" field.  The address(es) of
       the target host MAY be included in the Additional Section,
       however, the address records SHOULD be authenticated before use
       as described in Section 7.2 and in the specification for using
       DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) TLSA Records
       with SRV Records [RFC7673], if applicable.

   7.  More than one SRV record may be returned.  In this case, the
       "priority" and "weight" values in the returned SRV records are
       used to determine the order in which to contact the servers for
       subscription requests.  As described in the SRV specification
       [RFC2782], the server with the lowest "priority" is first
       contacted.  If more than one server has the same "priority", the
       "weight" indicates the weighted probability that the client
       should contact that server.  Higher weights have higher
       probabilities of being selected.  If a server is not willing to
       accept a subscription request, or is not reachable within a
       reasonable time, as determined by the client, then a subsequent
       server is to be contacted.

   Each time a client makes a new DNS Push Notification subscription, it
   SHOULD repeat the discovery process in order to determine the
   preferred DNS server for that subscription at that time.  If a client
   already has a DSO session with that DNS server, the client SHOULD
   reuse that existing DSO session for the new subscription; otherwise,
   a new DSO session is established.  The client MUST respect the DNS
   TTL values on records it receives while performing the discovery
   process and store them in its local cache with this lifetime (as it
   will generally do anyway for all DNS queries it performs).  This
   means that, as long as the DNS TTL values on the authoritative
   records are set to reasonable values, repeated application of the
   discovery process can be completed nearly practically instantaneously by the
   client, using only locally stored cached data.

6.2.  DNS Push Notification SUBSCRIBE

   After connecting, and requesting a longer idle timeout and/or
   keepalive interval if necessary, a DNS Push Notification client then
   indicates its desire to receive DNS Push Notifications for a given
   domain name by sending a SUBSCRIBE request to the server.  A
   SUBSCRIBE request is encoded in a DSO message [RFC8490].  This
   specification defines a primary DSO Primary TLV for DNS Push Notification
   SUBSCRIBE Requests (DSO Type Code 0x0040).

   DSO messages with the SUBSCRIBE TLV as the Primary TLV are permitted
   in TLS early data, provided that the precautions described in
   Section 7.3 are followed.

   The entity that initiates a SUBSCRIBE request is by definition the
   client.  A server MUST NOT send a SUBSCRIBE request over an existing
   session from a client.  If a server does send a SUBSCRIBE request
   over a DSO session initiated by a client, this is a fatal error and
   the client MUST forcibly abort the connection immediately.

   Each SUBSCRIBE request generates exactly one SUBSCRIBE response from
   the server.  The entity that initiates a SUBSCRIBE response is by
   definition the server.  A client MUST NOT send a SUBSCRIBE response.
   If a client does send a SUBSCRIBE response, this is a fatal error and
   the server MUST forcibly abort the connection immediately.

6.2.1.  SUBSCRIBE Request

   A SUBSCRIBE request begins with the standard DSO 12-byte header
   [RFC8490]
   [RFC8490], followed by the SUBSCRIBE Primary TLV.  A SUBSCRIBE
   request is illustrated in Figure 1.

   The MESSAGE ID field MUST be set to a unique value that the client is
   not using for any other active operation on this DSO session.  For
   the purposes here, a MESSAGE ID is in use on this session if either
   the client has used it in a request for which it has not yet received
   a response response, or if the client has used it for a subscription that it
   has not yet canceled using UNSUBSCRIBE.  In the SUBSCRIBE response,
   the server MUST echo back the MESSAGE ID value unchanged.

   The other header fields MUST be set as described in the DSO
   specification [RFC8490].  The DNS OPCODE field contains the OPCODE
   value for DNS Stateful Operations (6).  The four count fields must be
   zero, and the corresponding four sections must be empty (i.e.,
   absent).

   The DSO-TYPE is SUBSCRIBE (0x0040).

   The DSO-LENGTH is the length of the DSO-DATA that follows, which
   specifies the name, type, and class of the record(s) being sought.

                        Figure 1: SUBSCRIBE Request

   The DSO-DATA for a SUBSCRIBE request MUST contain exactly one NAME,
   TYPE, and CLASS.  Since SUBSCRIBE requests are sent over TCP,
   multiple SUBSCRIBE DSO request messages can be concatenated in a
   single TCP stream and packed efficiently into TCP segments.

   If accepted, the subscription will stay in effect until the client
   cancels the subscription using UNSUBSCRIBE or until the DSO session
   between the client and the server is closed.

   SUBSCRIBE requests on a given session MUST be unique.  A client MUST
   NOT send a SUBSCRIBE message that duplicates the NAME, TYPE name, type and CLASS class
   of an existing active subscription on that DSO session.  For the
   purpose of this matching, the established DNS case insensitivity for
   US-ASCII letters [RFC0020] applies (e.g., "example.com" and
   "Example.com" are the same).  If a server receives such a duplicate
   SUBSCRIBE message, this is a fatal error and the server MUST forcibly
   abort the connection immediately.

   DNS wildcarding is not supported.  That is, a wildcard an asterisk character
   ("*") in a SUBSCRIBE message matches only a literal wildcard asterisk
   character ("*") in
   the zone a name and nothing else.

   Aliasing is not supported.  That is,  Similarly, a CNAME in a
   SUBSCRIBE message matches only a literal CNAME record with that name in the
   zone and no other records with the same owner that name.

   A client may SUBSCRIBE to records that are unknown to the server at
   the time of the request (providing that the name falls within one of
   the zone(s) the server is responsible for), and this is not an error.
   The server MUST NOT return NXDOMAIN in this case.  The server MUST
   accept these requests and send Push Notifications if and when
   matching records are found in the future.

   If neither TYPE nor CLASS are ANY (255), then this is a specific
   subscription to changes for the given NAME, TYPE, and CLASS. name, type, and class.  If one
   or both of TYPE or CLASS are ANY (255), then this subscription
   matches any type all types and/or any class all classes as appropriate.

   NOTE: A little-known quirk of DNS is that in DNS QUERY requests,
   QTYPE and QCLASS 255 mean "ANY", not "ALL".  They indicate that the
   server should respond with ANY matching records of its choosing, not
   necessarily ALL matching records.  This can lead to some surprising
   and unexpected results, where a query returns some valid answers, but
   not all of them, and makes QTYPE = 255 (ANY) queries less useful than
   people sometimes imagine.

   When used in conjunction with SUBSCRIBE, TYPE, TYPE 255 and CLASS, CLASS 255
   should be interpreted to mean "ALL", not "ANY".  After accepting a
   subscription where one or both of TYPE or CLASS are 255, the server
   MUST send Push Notification Updates for ALL record changes that match
   the subscription, not just some of them.

6.2.2.  SUBSCRIBE Response

   A SUBSCRIBE response begins with the standard DSO 12-byte header
   [RFC8490].  The QR bit in the header is set indicating it is a
   response.  The header MAY be followed by one or more optional
   Additional TLVs such as a Retry Delay Additional TLV.  A SUBSCRIBE
   response is illustrated in Figure 2.

   The MESSAGE ID field MUST echo the value given in the MESSAGE ID
   field of the SUBSCRIBE request.  This is how the client knows which
   request is being responded to.

   The other header fields MUST be set as described in the DSO
   specification [RFC8490].  The DNS OPCODE field contains the OPCODE
   value for DNS Stateful Operations (6).  The four count fields must be
   zero, and the corresponding four sections must be empty (i.e.,
   absent).

   A SUBSCRIBE response message MUST NOT include a SUBSCRIBE TLV.  If a
   client receives a SUBSCRIBE response message containing a SUBSCRIBE
   TLV, then the response message is processed but the SUBSCRIBE TLV
   MUST be silently ignored.

   subscription was accepted.  Supported RCODEs are as follows:

                     Table 1: SUBSCRIBE Response Codes

   This document specifies only these RCODE values for SUBSCRIBE
   Responses.  Servers sending SUBSCRIBE Responses SHOULD use one of
   these values.  Note that NXDOMAIN is not a valid RCODE in response to
   a SUBSCRIBE Request.  However, future circumstances may create
   situations where other RCODE values are appropriate in SUBSCRIBE
   Responses, so clients MUST be prepared to accept and handle SUBSCRIBE
   Responses with any other nonzero RCODE value. error values.

   If the server sends a nonzero RCODE in the SUBSCRIBE response, that
   means:

   a.  the client is (at least partially) misconfigured, or
   b.  the server resources are exhausted, or
   c.  there is some other unknown failure on the server.

   In any case, the client shouldn't retry the subscription to this
   server right away.  If multiple SRV records were returned as
   described in Section 6.1, Paragraph 9, Item 7, a subsequent server
   MAY be tried immediately.

   If the client has other successful subscriptions to this server,
   these subscriptions remain even though additional subscriptions may
   be refused.  Neither the client nor the server is required to close
   the connection, although either end may choose to do so.

   If the server sends a nonzero RCODE, then it SHOULD append a Retry
   Delay Additional TLV [RFC8490] to the response specifying a delay
   before the client attempts this operation again.  Recommended values
   for the delay for different RCODE values are given below.  These
   recommended values apply both to the default values a server should
   place in the Retry Delay Additional TLV and the default values a
   client should assume if the server provides no Retry Delay Additional
   TLV.

      For RCODE = 1 (FORMERR), the delay may be any value selected by
      the implementer.  A value of five minutes is RECOMMENDED to reduce
      the risk of high load from defective clients.

      For RCODE = 2 (SERVFAIL), the delay should be chosen according to
      the level of server overload and the anticipated duration of that
      overload.  By default, a value of one minute is RECOMMENDED.  If a
      more serious server failure occurs, the delay may be longer in
      accordance with the specific problem encountered.

      For RCODE = 4 (NOTIMP), which occurs on a server that doesn't
      implement DNS Stateful Operations [RFC8490], it is unlikely that
      the server will begin supporting DSO in the next few minutes, so
      the retry delay SHOULD be one hour.  Note that in such a case, a
      server that doesn't implement DSO is unlikely to place a Retry
      Delay Additional TLV in its response, so this recommended value in
      particular applies to what a client should assume by default.

      For RCODE = 5 (REFUSED), which occurs on a server that implements
      DNS Push Notifications but is currently configured to disallow DNS
      Push Notifications, the retry delay may be any value selected by
      the implementer and/or configured by the operator.

      If the server being queried is listed in a
      "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record for the zone, then this is
      a misconfiguration, since this server is being advertised as
      supporting DNS Push Notifications for this zone, but the server
      itself is not currently configured to perform that task.  Since it
      is possible that the misconfiguration may be repaired at any time,
      the retry delay should not be set too high.  By default, a value
      of 5 minutes is RECOMMENDED.

      For RCODE = 9 (NOTAUTH), which occurs on a server that implements
      DNS Push Notifications but is not configured to be authoritative
      for the requested name, the retry delay may be any value selected
      by the implementer and/or configured by the operator.

      If the server being queried is listed in a
      "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record for the zone, then this is
      a misconfiguration, since this server is being advertised as
      supporting DNS Push Notifications for this zone, but the server
      itself is not currently configured to perform that task.  Since it
      is possible that the misconfiguration may be repaired at any time,
      the retry delay should not be set too high.  By default, a value
      of 5 minutes is RECOMMENDED.

      For RCODE = 11 (DSOTYPENI), which occurs on a server that
      implements DSO but doesn't implement DNS Push Notifications, it is
      unlikely that the server will begin supporting DNS Push
      Notifications in the next few minutes, so the retry delay SHOULD
      be one hour.

      For other RCODE values, the retry delay should be set by the
      server as appropriate for that error condition.  By default, a
      value of 5 minutes is RECOMMENDED.

   For RCODE = 9 (NOTAUTH), the time delay applies to requests for other
   names falling within the same zone.  Requests for names falling
   within other zones are not subject to the delay.  For all other
   RCODEs, the time delay applies to all subsequent requests to this
   server.

   After sending an error response, the server MAY allow the session to
   remain open open, or MAY send follow it with a DNS Push Notification DSO Retry Delay Operation
   TLV operation (using
   the Retry Delay Primary TLV) instructing the client to close the
   session as described in the DSO specification [RFC8490].  Clients
   MUST correctly handle both cases.  Note that the DSO Retry Delay
   operation (using the Retry Delay Primary TLV) is different to the
   Retry Delay Additional TLV mentioned above.

6.3.  DNS Push Notification Updates

   Once a subscription has been successfully established, the server
   generates PUSH messages to send to the client as appropriate.  In the
   case that the answer set was already non-empty at the moment the
   subscription was established, an initial PUSH message will be sent
   immediately following the SUBSCRIBE Response.  Subsequent changes to
   the answer set are then communicated to the client in subsequent PUSH
   messages.

   A client MUST NOT send a PUSH message.  If a client does send a PUSH
   message, or a PUSH message is sent with the QR bit set indicating
   that it is a response, this is a fatal error and the receiver MUST
   forcibly abort the connection immediately.

6.3.1.  PUSH Message

   A PUSH unidirectional message begins with the standard DSO 12-byte
   header [RFC8490], followed by the PUSH Primary TLV.  A PUSH message
   is illustrated in Figure 3.

   In accordance with the definition of DSO unidirectional messages, the
   MESSAGE ID field MUST be zero.  There is no client response to a PUSH
   message.

   The other header fields MUST be set as described in the DSO
   specification [RFC8490].  The DNS OPCODE field contains the OPCODE
   value for DNS Stateful Operations (6).  The four count fields must be
   zero, and the corresponding four sections must be empty (i.e.,
   absent).

   The DSO-TYPE is PUSH (0x0041).

   The DSO-LENGTH is the length of the DSO-DATA that follows, which
   specifies the changes being communicated.

   The DSO-DATA contains one or more change notifications.  A PUSH
   Message MUST contain at least one change notification.  If a PUSH
   Message is received that contains no change notifications, this is a
   fatal error and the client MUST forcibly abort the connection
   immediately.

   The change notification records are formatted similarly to how DNS
   Resource Records are conventionally expressed in DNS messages, as
   illustrated in Figure 3, and are interpreted as described below.

   The TTL field holds an unsigned 32-bit integer [RFC2181].  If the TTL
   is in the range 0 - to 2,147,483,647 seconds (0 to 2^(31) - 1, or
   0x7FFFFFFF), then a new DNS Resource Record with the given name,
   type, class, and RDATA is added.  Type and class MUST NOT be 255
   (ANY).  If either type or class are 255 (ANY), this is a fatal error
   and the client MUST forcibly abort the connection immediately.  A TTL
   of 0 means that this record should be retained for as long as the
   subscription is active and should be discarded immediately the moment
   the subscription is canceled.

   If the TTL has the value 0xFFFFFFFF, then the DNS Resource Record
   with the given name, type, class, and RDATA is removed.  Type and
   class MUST NOT be 255 (ANY).  If either type or class are 255 (ANY),
   this is a fatal error and the client MUST forcibly abort the
   connection immediately.

   If the TTL has the value 0xFFFFFFFE, then this is a 'collective'
   remove notification.  For collective remove notifications, RDLEN MUST
   be zero, and consequently, the RDATA MUST be empty.  If a change
   notification is received where TTL = 0xFFFFFFFE and RDLEN is not
   zero, this is a fatal error and the client MUST forcibly abort the
   connection immediately.

   There are three types of collective remove notification: notification.  For
   collective remove notifications, if notifications:

   *  If CLASS is not 255 (ANY) and TYPE is not 255 (ANY), then for the
      given name, this removes all records of the specified type in the
      specified class.

   For collective remove notifications, if

   *  If CLASS is not 255 (ANY) and TYPE is 255 (ANY), then for the
      given name, this removes all records of all types in the specified
      class.

   For collective remove notifications, if

   *  If CLASS is 255 (ANY), then for the given name, this removes all
      records of all types in all classes.  In this case, TYPE MUST be
      set to zero on transmission and MUST be silently ignored on
      reception.

   Summary of change notification types:

   *  Remove all RRsets from a name in all classes:
      TTL = 0xFFFFFFFE, RDLEN = 0, CLASS = 255 (ANY) (ANY).

   *  Remove all RRsets from a name in given class:
      TTL = 0xFFFFFFFE, RDLEN = 0, CLASS gives class, TYPE = 255 (ANY) (ANY).

   *  Remove specified RRset from a name in given class:
      TTL = 0xFFFFFFFE, RDLEN = 0 0,
      CLASS and TYPE specify the RRset being removed removed.

   *  Remove an individual RR from a name:
      TTL = 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF,
      CLASS, TYPE, RDLEN, and RDATA specify the RR being removed removed.

   *  Add individual RR to a name name:
      TTL >= 0 and TTL <= 0x7FFFFFFF 0x7FFFFFFF,
      CLASS, TYPE, RDLEN, RDATA, and TTL specify the RR being added added.

   Note that it is valid for the RDATA of an added or removed DNS
   Resource Record to be empty (zero length).  For example, an Address
   Prefix List Resource Record [RFC3123] may have empty RDATA.
   Therefore, a change notification with RDLEN = 0 does not
   automatically indicate a remove notification.  If RDLEN = 0 and TTL
   is in the range 0 - to 0x7FFFFFFF, this change notification signals the
   addition of a record with the given name, type, class, and empty
   RDATA.  If RDLEN = 0 and TTL = 0xFFFFFFFF, this change notification
   signals the removal specifically of that single record with the given
   name, type, class, and empty RDATA.

   If the TTL is any value other than 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFE, or a value
   in the range 0 - to 0x7FFFFFFF, then the receiver SHOULD silently
   ignore this particular change notification record.  The connection is
   not terminated and other valid change notification records within
   this PUSH message are processed as usual.

   For efficiency, when generating a PUSH message,

   In the case where a server SHOULD
   include as many single change notifications as it has immediately available
   to send rather affects more than sending each change notification as a separate
   DSO message.  Once it has exhausted the list of change notifications
   immediately available to send, a server SHOULD then send the one active
   subscription, only one PUSH message immediately rather than waiting to see if additional change
   notifications become available. is sent.  For efficiency, when generating example, a PUSH message,
   message adding a server SHOULD use
   standard DNS name compression, given record may match both a SUBSCRIBE request with offsets relative to
   the beginning
   of same TYPE and a different SUBSCRIBE request with TYPE = 255
   (ANY).  It is not the DNS message [RFC1035].  When multiple case that two PUSH messages are sent because
   the new record matches two active subscriptions.

   The server SHOULD encode change notifications in
   a single PUSH message have the same owner name, this name most efficient
   manner possible.  For example, when three AAAA records are removed
   from a given name, and no other AAAA records exist for that name, the
   server SHOULD send a "Remove specified RRset from a name in given
   class" PUSH message, not three separate "Remove an individual RR from
   a name" PUSH messages.  Similarly, when both an SRV and a TXT record
   are removed from a given name, and no other records of any kind exist
   for that name in that class, the server SHOULD send a "Remove all
   RRsets from a name in given class" PUSH message, not two separate
   "Remove specified RRset from a name in given class" PUSH messages.

   For efficiency, when generating a PUSH message, rather than sending
   each change notification as a separate DSO message, a server SHOULD
   include as many change notifications as it has immediately available
   to send to that client, even if those change notifications apply to
   different subscriptions from that client.  Conceptually, a PUSH
   message is a session-level mechanism, not a subscription-level
   mechanism.  Once it has exhausted the list of change notifications
   immediately available to send to that client, a server SHOULD then
   send the PUSH message immediately rather than waiting speculatively
   to see if additional change notifications become available.

   For efficiency, when generating a PUSH message a server SHOULD use
   standard DNS name compression, with offsets relative to the beginning
   of the DNS message [RFC1035].  When multiple change notifications in
   a single PUSH message have the same owner name, this name compression
   can yield significant savings.  Name compression should be performed
   as specified in Section 18.14 of the Multicast DNS specification
   [RFC6762]; namely, owner names should always be compressed, and names
   appearing within RDATA should be compressed for only the RR types
   listed below:

      NS, CNAME, PTR, DNAME, SOA, MX, AFSDB, RT, KX, RP, PX, SRV, NSEC

   Servers may generate PUSH messages up to a maximum DNS message length
   of 16,382 bytes, counting from the start of the DSO 12-byte header.
   Including the two-byte length prefix that is used to frame DNS over a
   byte stream like TLS, this makes a total of 16,384 bytes.  Servers
   MUST NOT generate PUSH messages larger than this.  Where the
   immediately available change notifications are sufficient to exceed a
   DNS message length of 16,382 bytes, the change notifications MUST be
   communicated in separate PUSH messages of up to 16,382 bytes each.
   DNS name compression becomes less effective for messages larger than
   16,384 bytes, so little efficiency benefit is gained by sending
   messages larger than this.

   If a client receives a PUSH message with a DNS message length larger
   than 16,382 bytes, this is a fatal error and the client MUST forcibly
   abort the connection immediately.

                           Figure 3: PUSH Message

   When processing the records received in a PUSH Message, the receiving
   client MUST validate that the records being added or removed
   correspond with at least one currently active subscription on that
   session.  Specifically, the record name MUST match the name given in
   the SUBSCRIBE request, subject to the usual established DNS case-
   insensitivity for US-ASCII letters.  For individual additions and
   removals, if the TYPE in the SUBSCRIBE request was not ANY (255),
   then the TYPE of the record must either be CNAME or match the TYPE
   given in the SUBSCRIBE request, and if the CLASS in the SUBSCRIBE
   request was not ANY (255), then the CLASS of the record must match
   the CLASS given in the SUBSCRIBE request.  For collective removals,
   at least one of the records being removed must match an active
   subscription.  If a matching active subscription on that session is
   not found, then that particular addition/removal record is silently
   ignored.  The processing of other additions and removal records in
   this message is not affected.  The DSO session is not closed.  This
   is to allow for the unavoidable race condition where a client sends
   an outbound UNSUBSCRIBE while inbound PUSH messages for that subscription from
   the server are still in flight.

   In the case where a single change affects more than one active
   subscription, only one PUSH message is sent.  For example, a PUSH
   message adding a given record may match both a SUBSCRIBE request with
   the same TYPE and a different SUBSCRIBE request with TYPE = 255
   (ANY).  It is not the case that two PUSH messages are sent because
   the new record matches two active subscriptions.

   The server SHOULD encode change notifications in the most efficient
   manner possible.  For example, when three AAAA records are removed
   from a given name, and no other AAAA records exist for that name, the
   server SHOULD send a "remove an RRset from a name" PUSH message, not
   three separate "remove an individual RR from a name" PUSH messages.
   Similarly, when both an SRV and a TXT record are removed from a given
   name, and no other records of any kind exist for that name, the
   server SHOULD send a "remove all RRsets from a name" PUSH message,
   not two separate "remove an RRset from a name" PUSH messages.

   A server SHOULD combine multiple change notifications in a single
   PUSH message when possible, even if those change notifications apply
   to different subscriptions.  Conceptually, a PUSH message is a
   session-level mechanism, not a subscription-level mechanism. inbound PUSH messages for that
   subscription from the server are still in flight.

   The TTL of an added record is stored by the client.  While the
   subscription is active, active the TTL is not decremented decremented, because a change
   to the TTL would produce a new update.  For as long as a relevant
   subscription remains active, the client SHOULD assume that when a
   record goes away, the server will notify it of that fact.
   Consequently, a client does not have to poll to verify that the
   record is still there.  Once a subscription is canceled
   (individually, or as a result of the DSO session being closed),
   record aging for records covered by the subscription resumes and
   records are removed from the local cache when their TTL reaches zero.

6.4.  DNS Push Notification UNSUBSCRIBE

   To cancel an individual subscription without closing the entire DSO
   session, the client sends an UNSUBSCRIBE message over the established
   DSO session to the server.

   The entity that initiates an UNSUBSCRIBE message is by definition the
   client.  A server MUST NOT send an UNSUBSCRIBE message over an
   existing session from a client.  If a server does send an UNSUBSCRIBE
   message over a DSO session initiated by a client, or an UNSUBSCRIBE
   message is sent with the QR bit set indicating that it is a response,
   this is a fatal error and the receiver MUST forcibly abort the
   connection immediately.

6.4.1.  UNSUBSCRIBE Message

   An UNSUBSCRIBE unidirectional message begins with the standard DSO
   12-byte header [RFC8490], followed by the UNSUBSCRIBE Primary TLV.
   An UNSUBSCRIBE message is illustrated in Figure 4.

   In accordance with the definition of DSO unidirectional messages, the
   MESSAGE ID field MUST be zero.  There is no server response to an
   UNSUBSCRIBE message.

   The other header fields MUST be set as described in the DSO
   specification [RFC8490].  The DNS OPCODE field contains the OPCODE
   value for DNS Stateful Operations (6).  The four count fields must be
   zero, and the corresponding four sections must be empty (i.e.,
   absent).

   The DSO-TYPE is UNSUBSCRIBE (0x0042).

   The DSO-LENGTH field contains the value 2, the length of the 2-octet
   MESSAGE ID contained in the DSO-DATA.

   The DSO-DATA contains the value previously given in the MESSAGE ID
   field of an active SUBSCRIBE request.  This is how the server knows
   which SUBSCRIBE request is being canceled.  After receipt of the
   UNSUBSCRIBE message, the SUBSCRIBE request is no longer active.

   It is allowable for the client to issue an UNSUBSCRIBE message for a
   previous SUBSCRIBE request for which the client has not yet received
   a SUBSCRIBE response.  This is to allow for the case where a client
   starts and stops a subscription in less than the round-trip time to
   the server.  The client is NOT required to wait for the SUBSCRIBE
   response before issuing the UNSUBSCRIBE message.

   Consequently, it is possible for a server to receive an UNSUBSCRIBE
   message that does not match any currently active subscription.  This
   can occur when a client sends a SUBSCRIBE request, which subsequently
   fails and returns an error code, but the client sent an UNSUBSCRIBE
   message before it became aware that the SUBSCRIBE request had failed.
   Because of this, servers MUST silently ignore UNSUBSCRIBE messages
   that do not match any currently active subscription.

6.5.  DNS Push Notification RECONFIRM

   Sometimes, particularly when used with a Discovery Proxy [RFC8766], a
   DNS Zone may contain stale data.  When a client encounters data that
   it believes may be stale (e.g., an SRV record referencing a target
   host+port that is not responding to connection requests), the client
   can send a RECONFIRM message to ask the server to re-verify that the
   data is still valid.  For a Discovery Proxy, this causes it to issue
   new Multicast DNS queries to ascertain whether the target device is
   still present.  How the Discovery Proxy causes these new Multicast
   DNS queries to be issued depends on the details of the underlying
   Multicast DNS implementation being used.  For example, a Discovery
   Proxy built on Apple's dns_sd.h API [SD-API] responds to a DNS Push
   Notification RECONFIRM message by calling the underlying API's
   DNSServiceReconfirmRecord() routine.

   For other types of DNS server, the RECONFIRM operation is currently
   undefined and SHOULD result in a NOERROR response, but otherwise, it need not
   cause any other action to occur.

   Frequent use of RECONFIRM operations may be a sign of network
   unreliability, or some kind of misconfiguration, so RECONFIRM
   operations MAY be logged or otherwise communicated to a human
   administrator to assist in detecting and remedying such network
   problems.

   If, after receiving a valid RECONFIRM message, the server determines
   that the disputed records are in fact no longer valid, then
   subsequent DNS PUSH Messages will be generated to inform interested
   clients.  Thus, one client discovering that a previously advertised
   device (like a network printer) is no longer present has the side
   effect of informing all other interested clients that the device in
   question is now gone.

   The entity that initiates a RECONFIRM message is by definition the
   client.  A server MUST NOT send a RECONFIRM message over an existing
   session from a client.  If a server does send a RECONFIRM message
   over a DSO session initiated by a client, or a RECONFIRM message is
   sent with the QR bit set indicating that it is a response, this is a
   fatal error and the receiver MUST forcibly abort the connection
   immediately.

6.5.1.  RECONFIRM Message

   A RECONFIRM unidirectional message begins with the standard DSO
   12-byte header [RFC8490], followed by the RECONFIRM Primary TLV
   (Figure 5). TLV.  A
   RECONFIRM message is illustrated in Figure 5.

   In accordance with the definition of DSO unidirectional messages, the
   MESSAGE ID field MUST be zero.  There is no server response to a
   RECONFIRM message.

   The other header fields MUST be set as described in the DSO
   specification [RFC8490].  The DNS OPCODE field contains the OPCODE
   value for DNS Stateful Operations (6).  The four count fields must be
   zero, and the corresponding four sections must be empty (i.e.,
   absent).

   The DSO-TYPE is RECONFIRM (0x0043).

   The DSO-LENGTH is the length of the data that follows, which
   specifies the name, type, class, and content of the record being
   disputed.

   A DNS Push Notifications RECONFIRM message contains exactly one
   RECONFIRM Primary TLV.  The DSO-DATA for in a RECONFIRM message Primary TLV MUST
   contain exactly one record.  The DSO-DATA for in a RECONFIRM message Primary TLV
   has no count field to specify more than one record.  Since RECONFIRM
   messages are sent over TCP, multiple RECONFIRM messages can be
   concatenated in a single TCP stream and packed efficiently into TCP
   segments.  Note that this means that DNS name compression cannot be
   used between different RECONFIRM messages.  However, when a client is
   sending multiple RECONFIRM messages this indicates a situation with
   serious network problems, and this is not expected to occur
   frequently enough that optimizing efficiency in this case is
   important.

   TYPE MUST NOT be the value ANY (255) and CLASS MUST NOT be the value
   ANY (255).

   DNS wildcarding is not supported.  That is, a wildcard an asterisk character
   ("*") in a RECONFIRM message matches only a literal wildcard asterisk
   character ("*") in
   the zone a name and nothing else.

   Aliasing is not supported.  That is,  Similarly, a CNAME in a
   RECONFIRM message matches only a literal CNAME record with that name in the
   zone and no other records with the same owner that name.

   Note that there is no RDLEN field, since the length of the RDATA can
   be inferred from DSO-LENGTH, so an additional RDLEN field would be
   redundant.

   Following the same rules as for PUSH messages, DNS name compression
   SHOULD be used within the RDATA of the RECONFIRM message, with
   offsets relative to the beginning of the DNS message [RFC1035].

6.6.  DNS Stateful Operations TLV Context Summary

   This document defines four new DSO TLVs.  As recommended in
   Section 8.2 of the DNS Stateful Operations specification [RFC8490],
   the valid contexts of these new TLV types are summarized below.

   The client TLV contexts are:

   C-P:  Client request message, Primary TLV
   C-U:  Client unidirectional Unidirectional message, Primary primary TLV
   C-A:  Client request or unidirectional message, additional Additional TLV
   CRP:  Response back to client, Primary TLV
   CRA:  Response back to client, additional Additional TLV

                  Table 3: DSO TLV Server Context Summary

6.7.  Client-Initiated Termination

   An individual subscription is terminated by sending an UNSUBSCRIBE
   TLV for that specific subscription, or all subscriptions can be
   canceled at once by the client closing the DSO session.  When a
   client terminates an individual subscription (via UNSUBSCRIBE) or all
   subscriptions on that DSO session (by ending the session), it is
   signaling to the server that it is no longer interested in receiving
   those particular updates.  It is informing the server that the server
   may release any state information it has been keeping with regards to
   these particular subscriptions.

   After terminating its last subscription on a session via UNSUBSCRIBE,
   a client MAY close the session immediately or it may keep it open if
   it anticipates performing further operations on that session in the
   future.  If a client wishes to keep an idle session open, it MUST
   respect the maximum idle time required by the server [RFC8490].

   If a client plans to terminate one or more subscriptions on a session
   and doesn't intend to keep that session open, then as an efficiency
   optimization, it MAY instead choose to simply close the session,
   which implicitly terminates all subscriptions on that session.  This
   may occur because the client computer is being shut down, is going to
   sleep, the application requiring the subscriptions has terminated, or
   simply because the last active subscription on that session has been
   canceled.

   When closing a session, a client should perform an orderly close of
   the TLS session.  Typical APIs will provide a session close method
   that will send a TLS close_notify alert as described in Section 6.1
   of the TLS 1.3 specification [RFC8446].  This instructs the recipient
   that the sender will not send any more data over the session.  After
   sending the TLS close_notify alert, the client MUST gracefully close
   the underlying connection using a TCP FIN so that the TLS
   close_notify is reliably delivered.  The mechanisms for gracefully
   closing a TCP connection with a TCP FIN vary depending on the
   networking API.  For example, in the BSD Sockets API, sending a TCP
   FIN is achieved by calling "shutdown(s,SHUT_WR)" and keeping the
   socket open until all remaining data has been read from it.

   If the session is forcibly closed at the TCP level by sending a RST
   from either end of the connection, data may be lost.

6.8.  Client Fallback to Polling

   There are cases where a client may exhaust all avenues for
   establishing a DNS Push Notification subscription without success.
   This can happen if the client's configured recursive resolver does
   not support DNS over TLS, or supports DNS over TLS but is not
   listening on TCP port 853, or supports DNS over TLS on TCP port 853
   but does not support DSO on that port, or for some other reason is
   unable to provide a DNS Push Notification subscription.  In this
   case, the client will attempt to communicate directly with an
   appropriate server, and it may be that the zone apex discovery fails,
   or there is no "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>" SRV record, or the server
   indicated in the SRV record is misconfigured misconfigured, overloaded, or is
   unresponsive for some other reason.

   Regardless of the reason for the failure, after being unable to
   establish the desired DNS Push Notification subscription, it is
   likely that the client will still wish to know the answer it seeks,
   even if that answer cannot be obtained with the timely change
   notifications provided by DNS Push Notifications.  In such cases, it
   is likely that the client will obtain the answer it seeks via a
   conventional DNS query instead, repeated at some interval to detect
   when the answer RRset changes.

   In the case where a client responds to its failure to establish a DNS
   Push Notification subscription by falling back to polling with
   conventional DNS queries instead, the polling rate should be
   controlled to avoid placing excessive burden on the server.  The
   interval between successive DNS queries for the same name, type, and
   class SHOULD be at least the minimum of 900 seconds (15 minutes) or
   two seconds more than the TTL of the answer RRset.

   For TTLs shorter than 898 seconds, the

   The reason that for TTLs up to 898 seconds the query should not be
   reissued until two seconds _after_ the answer RRset has
   expired expired, is
   to ensure that the answer RRset has also expired from the cache on
   the client's configured recursive resolver.  Otherwise (particularly
   if the clocks on the client and the recursive resolver do not run at
   precisely the same rate), there's a risk of a race condition where
   the client queries its configured recursive resolver just as the
   answer RRset has one second remaining in the recursive resolver's
   cache.  The client would then receive a reply telling it that the answer
   RRset has one second remaining, and then, remaining; the client would then requery the
   recursive resolver again one second later when later.  If by this time the
   answer RRset has actually expires, and only then would expired from the recursive resolver's
   cache, the recursive resolver would then issue a new query to fetch new
   fresh data from the authoritative server.  Waiting until the answer
   RRset has definitely expired from the cache on the client's
   configured recursive resolver avoids this race condition and any
   unnecessary additional queries it causes.

   Each time a client is about to reissue its query to discover changes
   to the answer RRset, it should first make a new attempt to establish
   a DNS Push Notification subscription using previously cached DNS
   answers as appropriate.  After a temporary misconfiguration has been
   remedied, this allows a client that is polling to return to using DNS
   Push Notifications for asynchronous notification of changes.

7.  Security Considerations

   The Strict Privacy profile for DNS over TLS is REQUIRED for DNS Push
   Notifications [RFC8310].  Cleartext connections for DNS Push
   Notifications are not permissible.  Since this is a new protocol,
   transition mechanisms from the Opportunistic Privacy profile are
   unnecessary.

   Also, see Section 9 of the document Usage Profiles for DNS over
   (D)TLS
   document [RFC8310] for additional recommendations for various versions
   of TLS usage.

   As a consequence of requiring TLS, client certificate authentication
   and verification may also be enforced by the server for stronger
   client-server security or end-to-end security.  However,
   recommendations for security, particularly security in particular deployment scenarios, scenarios are
   outside the scope of this document.

   DNSSEC is RECOMMENDED for the authentication of DNS Push Notification
   servers.  TLS alone does not provide complete security.  TLS
   certificate verification can provide reasonable assurance that the
   client is really talking to the server associated with the desired
   host name, but since the desired host name is learned via a DNS SRV
   query, if the SRV query is subverted, then the client may have a
   secure connection to a rogue server.  DNSSEC can provide added
   confidence that the SRV query has not been subverted.

7.1.  Security Services

   It is the goal of using TLS to provide the following security
   services:

   Confidentiality:  All application-layer communication is encrypted
      with the goal that no party should be able to decrypt it except
      the intended receiver.

   Data integrity protection:  Any changes made to the communication in
      transit are detectable by the receiver.

   Authentication:  An endpoint of the TLS communication is
      authenticated as the intended entity to communicate with.

   Anti-replay protection:  TLS provides for the detection of and
      prevention against messages sent previously over a TLS connection
      (such as DNS Push Notifications).  If prior messages are re-sent
      at a later time as a form of a man-in-the-middle attack, then the
      receiver will detect this and reject the replayed messages.

   Deployment recommendations on the appropriate key lengths and cipher
   suites are beyond the scope of this document.  Please refer to the
   current TLS Recommendations [BCP195] for the best current practices.
   Keep in mind that best practices only exist for a snapshot in time,
   and recommendations will continue to change.  Updated versions or
   errata may exist for these recommendations.

7.2.  TLS Name Authentication

   As described in Section 6.1, the client discovers the DNS Push
   Notification server using an SRV lookup for the record name
   "_dns-push-tls._tcp.<zone>".  The server connection endpoint SHOULD
   then be authenticated using DANE TLSA records for the associated SRV
   record.  This associates the target's name and port number with a
   trusted TLS certificate [RFC7673].  This procedure uses the TLS
   Server Name Indication (SNI) extension [RFC6066] to inform the server
   of the name the client has authenticated through the use of TLSA
   records.  Therefore, if the SRV record passes DNSSEC validation and a
   TLSA record matching the target name is usable, an SNI extension must
   be used for the target name to ensure the client is connecting to the
   server it has authenticated.  If the target name does not have a
   usable TLSA record, then the use of the SNI extension is optional.
   See Usage Profiles for DNS over TLS and DNS over DTLS [RFC8310] for
   more information on authenticating domain names.

7.3.  TLS Early Data

   DSO messages with the SUBSCRIBE TLV as the Primary TLV are permitted
   in TLS early data.  Using TLS early data can save one network round
   trip and can result in the client obtaining results faster.

   However, there are some factors to consider before using TLS early
   data.

   TLS early data is not forward secret.  In cases where forward secrecy
   of DNS Push Notification subscriptions is required, the client should
   not use TLS early data.

   With TLS early data, there are no guarantees of non-replay between
   connections.  If packets are duplicated and delayed in the network,
   the later arrivals could be mistaken for new subscription requests.
   Generally, this is not a major concern since the amount of state
   generated on the server for these spurious subscriptions is small and
   short lived since the TCP connection will not complete the three-way
   handshake.  Servers MAY choose to implement rate-limiting measures
   that are activated when the server detects an excessive number of
   spurious subscription requests.

   For further guidance, guidance on use of TLS early data, please see discussion
   of zero round-trip data in Sections 2.3 and 8, and Appendix E.5 E.5, of
   the TLS 1.3 specification [RFC8446].

7.4.  TLS Session Resumption

   TLS Session Resumption session resumption [RFC8446] is permissible on DNS Push
   Notification servers.  However, closing the TLS connection terminates
   the DSO session.  When the TLS session is resumed, the DNS Push
   Notification server will not have any subscription state and will
   proceed as with any other new DSO session.  Use of TLS Session
   Resumption session
   resumption may allow a TLS connection to be set up more quickly, but
   the client will still have to recreate any desired subscriptions.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines a new service name, only applicable for the TCP
   protocol, which has been recorded in the IANA "Service Name and
   Transport Protocol Port Number Registry" [RFC6335] [SRVTYPE].
