Abstract

Home network owners may have devices or services hosted on their homenetwork that they wish to access from the Internet (i.e., from anetwork outside of the home network). Home networks are increasinglynumbered using IPv6 addresses, which in principle makes this accesssimpler, but accessing home networks from the Internet requires thenames and IP addresses of these devices and services to be madeavailable in the public DNS.

This document describes how a Home Naming Authority (NHA) instructsthe outsourced infrastructure to publish these pieces of informationin the public DNS. The names and IP addresses of the home network areset in the Public Homenet Zone by the Homenet Naming Authority (HNA),which in turn instructs an outsourced infrastructure to publish thezone on behalf of the home network owner.
