Hi all,

I will be attending the hackathon before IETF104 this weekend in Prague
and have added a couple of suggestions for projects around DNSTAP which
I've added to the hackathon wiki.

  https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/104hackathon

1) DNSTAP over CBOR

Today DNSTAP messages are delivered using protobuf encapsulated over
fstrm, this project will try to use CBOR (RFC 7049) instead of protobuf
but still use fstrm for the encapsulation and implement this in both
sending (authoritative, resolver) and receiving (dnscap, dsc etc) software.

Gist of CDDL example:

2) Brainstorm/hack around DNSTAP and usage of fstrm

Current common implementation is that the DNS server software connect
out to a fstrm/DNSTAP listener, would also be nice to be able to connect
to the DNS server and get the DNSTAP when needed.


Comments/thoughts/2c's/+1's/-1's?  And if you are attending the
hackathon then I hope to see you at the DNS table!

Cheers,
Jerry
