IPv6 Node Information Queries

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Experimental
Pages: 14
Abstract: This document describes a protocol for asking an IPv6 node to supply certain network information, such as its hostname or fully-qualified domain name. IPv6 implementation experience has shown that direct queries for a hostname are useful, and a direct query mechanism for other information has been found useful in serverless environments and for debugging. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
