RFC9460: Service Binding via the DNS (SVCB and HTTPS Resource Records)

This document introduces the “SVCB” (“Service Binding”) and “HTTPS” DNS resource record (RR) types that provide instructions for accessing network services, such as HTTP origins. The SVCB records allow a service to be provided from multiple endpoints, each with its own parameters. They also enable aliasing of apex domains, which is not possible with CNAME records. The HTTPS RR is a variation of SVCB specifically for use with HTTP. These records offer potential benefits to performance and privacy by providing more information to the client before establishing a connection. The document also specifies the goals, terminologies, and wire formats for SVCB and HTTPS RRs.
