RFC 8782: Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal Channel Specification

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9132.

Current version: RFC 9132 — Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal Channel Specification

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies the Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal channel, a protocol for signaling the need for protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks to a server capable of enabling network traffic mitigation on behalf of the requesting client. A companion document defines the DOTS data channel, a separate reliable communication layer for DOTS management and configuration purposes.
