Re: Send-N draft: draft-bellis-enum-send-n-02 published

If this information must go in DNS I agree with everyone else that
suggested this should get it's own DNS type, it would if nothing else
reduce the size of the DNS packet substantially, as well as not
interfere with NAPTR wildcards.

Although I thought it was a weak argument about offloading processing,
since the processing has to be done somewhere no matter what.

Having a new DNS type it would only need 1 byte for data, which would
speed up processing of the information since it doesn't need to deal
with regex and so on.

DNS Type SENDN ID to be assigned by IANA, packet structure:

 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|MinDig |MaxDig |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Since the maximum length can only be 15 this fits perfectly inside a
nibble :)
