Issue 37: Clarification on Election Details: Issue includes the following request clarification Why the winner of the election would be the one to disconnect Clarify the existing text on FQDN comparison, i.e.; something along the lines of If old-style FQDN ( [A-Za-z0-9-_]+ ) then a case insensitive comparison may be used. Otherwise, byte by byte. Solution: Some activity 02 version of the base protocol draft has the following changes for Sec 5.6.4: The election is performed on the responder. The responder compares the Origin-Host received in the CER with its own Origin-Host as two streams of octets. If the local Origin-Host lexicographically succeeds the received Origin-Host a Win-Election event is issued locally. To be consistent with DNS case insensitivity, octets that fall in the ASCII range 'a' through 'z' MUST compare equally to their upper-case counterparts between 'A' and 'Z', i.e. value 0x41 compares equal to 0x61, 0x42 to 0x62 and so forth up to and including 0x5a and 0x7a. Notes: This has co-relation with issue 35. |
