Abstract:
The traditional WHOIS protocol has several important shortcomings,
and over the past few years several approaches to a better
Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) have been discussed and
proposed.
It is worth noting that the term WHOIS is sometimes used
interchangeably to mean either (a) the registration data itself or
(b) the protocol used to access registration data
Among these shortcomings, different registries operate different
WHOIS services. For users this means that several WHOIS queries to
different registries may be necessary in order to obtain data for a
given resource.
This document describes a redirection service for RDAP queries. This
service allows clients to query a single RDAP service and expect
either an authoritative answer or a redirection hint pointing to
another, possibly authoritative, RDAP server.
The solution implemented proposed here applies to Regional Internet
Registries(RIRs) and Domain Name Registries(DNRs).
