1. Introduction
Querying and retrieving registration data from registries are defined
in the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap
-query][I-D.ietf-weirds-using-http][I-D.ietf-weirds-json-response].
These documents do not specify where to send the queries. This
document specifies a method to find which server is authoritative to
answer queries for the requested scope.
Top-level domains(TLD), Autonomous System numbers (AS), and network
blocks are delegated by IANA to Internet registries such as TLD
registries and Regional Internet Registries (RIR) that then issue
further delegations and maintain information about them. Thus, the
bootstrap information needed by RDAP clients is best generated from
data and processes already maintained by IANA, which registries
already exist at [ipv4reg], [ipv6reg], [asreg], and [domainreg].

Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
This document requests IANA to create new registries based on a JSON
format specified in this document, herein named RDAP Bootstrap
Service Registries. These new registries are based on the existing
entries of the above mentioned registries. An RDAP client fetches
the RDAP Bootstrap Service Registries, extracts the data and then
performs a match with the query data to find the authoritative
registration data server and appropriate query base URL.
2. Conventions Used In This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. Structure of the RDAP Bootstrap Service Registries
The RDAP Bootstrap Service Registries, as specified in Section 12
below, will be made available as JSON [RFC7159] objects, to be
retrieved via HTTP from a location specified by IANA. The JSON
object for each registry contains a series of members containing
metadata about the registry such as a version identifier, a timestamp
of the publication date of the registry and a description.
Additionally, a "services" member contains the registry items
themselves, as an array. Each item of the array contains a second-
level array, with two elements, each of them being a third-level
array.
Each element of the Services array is a second-level array with two
elements: in order, an Entry Array and a Service URL Array.
The Entry Array contains all entries that have the same set of base
RDAP URLs. The Service URL Array contains the list of base RDAP URLs
usable for the entries found in the Entry Array. Elements within
these two arrays are not sorted in any way.
An example structure of the JSON output of a RDAP Bootstrap Service
Registry is illustrated:
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
{
"version": "1.0",
"publication": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ",
"description": "Some text",
"services": [
[
["entry1", "entry2", "entry3"],
[
"https://registry.example.com/myrdap/",
"http://registry.example.com/myrdap/"
]
],
[
["entry4"],
[
"http://example.org/"
]
]
]
}
The formal syntax is described in Section 10.
The "version" corresponds to the format version of the registry.
This specification defines version "1.0".
The syntax of "publication" value conforms to the Internet date/time
format [RFC3339]. The value is the latest update date of the
registry by IANA.
The optional "description" string can contain a comment regarding the
content of the bootstrap object.
Per [RFC7258], in each array of base RDAP URLs, the secure versions
of the transport protocol SHOULD be preferred and tried first. For
example, if the base RDAP URLs array contain both https and http
URLs, the bootstrap client SHOULD try the https version first.
Base RDAP URLs MUST have a trailing "/" character because they are
concatenated to the various segments defined in
[I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query].
JSON names MUST follow the format recommendations of
[I-D.ietf-weirds-using-http]. Any unrecognized JSON object
properties or values MUST be ignored by implementations.
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
Internationalized Domain Names labels used as entries or base RDAP
URLs in the registries defined in this document MUST be only
represented using their A-Label form as defined in [RFC5890].
All Domain Names labels used as entries or base RDAP URLs in the
registries defined in this document MUST be only represented in
lowercase.
4. Domain Name RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
The JSON output of this registry contains domain labels entries
attached to the root, grouped by base RDAP URLs, as shown in this
example.
{
"version": "1.0",
"publication": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ",
"description": "Some text",
"services": [
[
["net", "com"],
[
"https://registry.example.com/myrdap/"
]
],
[
["org", "mytld"],
[
"http://example.org/"
]
],
[
["xn--zckzah"],
[
"https://example.net/rdapxn--zckzah/",
"http://example.net/rdapxn--zckzah/"
]
]
]
}
The domain names authoritative registration data service is found by
doing the label-wise longest match of the target domain name with the
domain values in the Entry Arrays in the IANA Domain Name RDAP
Bootstrap Service Registry. The match is done per label, from right
to left. If the longest match results in multiple entries, then
those entries are considered equivalent. The values contained in the
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
Service URL Array of the matching second-level array are the valid
base RDAP URLs as described in [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query].
For example, a domain RDAP query for a.b.example.com matches the com
entry in one of the arrays of the registry. The base RDAP URL for
this query is then taken from the second element of the array, which
is an array of base RDAP URLs valid for this entry. The client
chooses one of the base URLs from this array; in this example it
chooses the only one available, "https://registry.example.com/
myrdap/". The segment specified in [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query] is
then appended to the base URL to complete the query. The complete
query is then "https://registry.example.com/myrdap/domain/
a.b.example.com".
If a domain RDAP query for a.b.example.com matches both com and
example.com entries in the registry, then the longest match applies
and the example.com entry is used by the client.
If the registry contains entries such as com and goodexample.com,
then a domain RDAP query for example.com only match com entry,
because matching is done on a per label basis.
The entry for the root of the domain name space is specified as "".
5. Internet Numbers RDAP Bootstrap Service Registries
This section discusses IPv4 and IPv6 address space and autonomous
system numbers.
For IP address space, the authoritative registration data service is
found by doing a longest match of the target address with the values
of the arrays in the corresponding Address Space RDAP Bootstrap
Service registry. The longest match is done the same way as for
routing: the addresses are converted in binary form and then the
binary strings are compared to find the longest match up to the
specified prefix length. The values contained in the second element
of the array are the base RDAP URLs as described in
[I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query]. The longest match method enables
covering prefixes of a larger address space pointing to one base RDAP
URL while more specific prefixes within the covering prefix are being
served by another base RDAP URL.
5.1. IPv4 Address Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
The JSON output of this registry contains IPv4 prefix entries,
specified in CIDR format [RFC4632] and grouped by RDAP URLs, as shown
in this example.
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
{
"version": "1.0",
"publication": "2024-01-07T10:11:12Z",
"description": "RDAP Bootstrap file for example registries.",
"services": [
[
["1.0.0.0/8", "192.0.0.0/8"],
[
"https://rir1.example.com/myrdap/"
]
],
[
["28.2.0.0/16", "192.0.2.0/24"],
[
"http://example.org/"
]
],
[
["28.3.0.0/16"],
[
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/",
"http://example.net/rdaprir2/"
]
]
]
}
For example, a query for "192.0.2.1/25" matches the "192.0.0.0/8"
entry and the "192.0.2.0/24" entry in the example registry above.
The latter is chosen by the client given the longest match. The base
RDAP URL for this query is then taken from the second element of the
array, which is an array of base RDAP URLs valid for this entry. The
client chooses one of the base URLs from this array; in this example
it chooses the only one available, "http://example.org/". The
{resource} specified in [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query] is then appended
to the base URL to complete the query. The complete query is then
"https://example.org/ip/192.0.2.1/25".
5.2. IPv6 Address Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
The JSON output of this registry contains IPv6 prefix entries, using
[RFC4291] text representation of address prefixes format, grouped by
base RDAP URLs, as shown in this example.
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
{
"version": "1.0",
"publication": "2024-01-07T10:11:12Z",
"description": "RDAP Bootstrap file for example registries.",
"services": [
[
["2001:0200::/23", "2001:db8::/32"],
[
"https://rir2.example.com/myrdap/"
]
],
[
["2600::/16", "2100:ffff::/32"],
[
"http://example.org/"
]
],
[
["2001:0200:1000::/36"],
[
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/",
"http://example.net/rdaprir2/"
]
]
]
}
For example, a query for "2001:0200:1000::/48" matches the
"2001:0200::/23" entry and the "2001:0200:1000::/36" entry in the
example registry above. The latter is chosen by the client given the
longest match. The base RDAP URL for this query is then taken from
the second element of the array, which is an array of base RDAP URLs
valid for this entry. The client chooses one of the base URLs from
this array; in this example it chooses "https://example.net/
rdaprir2/" because it's the secure version of the protocol. The
segment specified in [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query] is then appended to
the base URL to complete the query. The complete query is therefore
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/ip/2001:0200:1000::/48". If the target
RDAP server does not answer, the client can then use another URL
prefix from the array.
5.3. Autonomous Systems RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
The JSON output of this contains Autonomous Systems Number Ranges
entries, grouped by base RDAP URLs, as shown in this example. The
Entry Array is an array containing the list of AS number ranges
served by the base RDAP URLs found in the second element. The array
always contains two AS numbers represented in decimal format which
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
represents the range of AS Numbers between the two elements of the
array. A single AS number is represented as a range of two identical
AS numbers.
{
"version": "1.0",
"publication": "2024-01-07T10:11:12Z",
"description": "RDAP Bootstrap file for example registries.",
"services": [
[
["2045-2045"],
[
"https://rir3.example.com/myrdap/"
]
],
[
["10000-12000", "300000-400000"],
[
"http://example.org/"
]
],
[
["64512-65534"],
[
"http://example.net/rdaprir2/",
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/"
]
]
]
}
For example, a query for AS 65411 matches the 64512-65534 entry in
the example registry above. The base RDAP URL for this query is then
taken from the second element of the array, which is an array of base
RDAP URLs valid for this entry. The client chooses one of the base
URLs from this array; in this example it chooses
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/". The segment specified in
[I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query] is then appended to the base URL to
complete the query. The complete query is therefore
"https://example.net/rdaprir2/autnum/65411". If the server does not
answer, the client can then use another URL prefix from the array.
6. Entity
Entities (such as contacts, registrants or registrars) can be queried
by handle as described in [I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-query]. Since there
is no global namespace for entities, this document does not describe
how to find the authoritative RDAP server for entities. It is
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
possible however that, if the entity identifier was received from a
previous query, the same RDAP server could be queried for that entity
or the entity identifier itself is a fully referenced URL that can be
queried.
7. Non-existent Entries or RDAP URL Values
The registries may not contain the requested value. In these cases,
there is no known RDAP server for that requested value and the client
SHOULD provide an appropriate error message to the user.
8. Deployment and Implementation Considerations
This method relies on the fact that RDAP clients are fetching the
IANA registries to then find the servers locally. Clients SHOULD NOT
fetch the registry on every RDAP request. Clients SHOULD cache the
registry, but use underlying protocol signalling, such as the HTTP
Expires header field [RFC7234], to identify when it is time to
refresh the cached registry.
If the query data does not match any entry in the client cached
registry, then the client may implement various methods, such as the
following:
o In the case of a domain object, the client may first query the DNS
to see if the respective entry has been delegated or if it is
mistyped information by the user. The DNS query could be to fetch
the NS records for the TLD domain. If the DNS answer is negative,
then there is no need to fetch the new version of the registry.
However, if the DNS answer is positive, this may mean that the
currently cached registry is no longer current. The client could
then fetch the registry, parse and then do the normal matching as
specified above. This method may not work for all types of RDAP
objects.
o If the client knows the existence of an RDAP aggregator or
redirector and its associated base URL, and trusts that service,
then it could send the query to the redirector, which would
redirect the client if it knows the authoritative server that
client has not found.
Some authorities of registration data may work together on sharing
their information for a common service, including mutual redirection
[I-D.ietf-weirds-redirects].
When a new object is allocated, such as a new AS range, a new TLD or
a new IP address range, there is no guarantee that this new object
will have an entry in the corresponding bootstrap RDAP registry,
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
since the setup of the RDAP server for this new entry may become live
and registered later. Therefore, the clients should expect that even
if an object, such as TLD, IP address range or AS range is allocated,
the existence of the entry in the corresponding bootstrap registry is
not guaranteed.
9. Limitations
This method does not provide a direct way to find authoritative RDAP
servers for any other objects than the ones described in this
document. In particular, the following objects are not bootstrapped
with the method described in this document:
o entities
o queries using search patterns that do not contain a terminating
string that matches some entries in the registries
o nameservers
o help
10. Formal Definition
This section is the formal definition of the registries. The
structure of JSON objects and arrays using a set of primitive
elements is defined in [RFC7159]. Those elements are used to
describe the JSON structure of the registries.
10.1. Imported JSON Terms
o OBJECT: a JSON object, defined in Section 2.2 of [RFC7159]
o MEMBER: a member of a JSON object, defined in Section 2.2 of
[RFC7159]
o MEMBER-NAME: the name of a MEMBER, defined as a "string" in
Section 2.2 of [RFC7159]
o MEMBER-VALUE: the value of a MEMBER, defined as a "value" in
Section 2.2 of [RFC7159]
o ARRAY: an array, defined in Section 2.3 of [RFC7159]
o ARRAY-VALUE: an element of an ARRAY, defined in Section 2.3 of
[RFC7159]
o STRING: a "string" as defined in Section 2.5 of [RFC7159]
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
10.2. Registry Syntax
Using the above terms for the JSON structures, the syntax of a
registry is defined as follows:
o rdap-bootstrap-registry: an OBJECT containing a MEMBER version and
a MEMBER publication and a optional MEMBER description and a
MEMBER services-list
o version: a MEMBER with MEMBER-NAME "version" and MEMBER-VALUE a
STRING
o publication: a MEMBER with MEMBER-NAME "publication" and MEMBER-
VALUE a STRING
o description: a MEMBER with MEMBER-NAME "description" and MEMBER-
VALUE a STRING
o services-list: a MEMBER with MEMBER-NAME "services" and MEMBER-
VALUE a services-array
o services-array: an ARRAY, where each ARRAY-VALUE is a service
o service: an ARRAY of 2 elements, where the first ARRAY-VALUE is a
an entry-list and the second ARRAY-VALUE is a service-uri-list
o entry-list: an ARRAY, where each ARRAY-VALUE is an entry
o entry: a STRING
o service-uri-list: an ARRAY, where each ARRAY-VALUE is a service-
uri
o service-uri: a STRING
11. Security Considerations
By providing a bootstrap method to find RDAP servers, this document
helps to ensure that the end-users will get the RDAP data from an
authoritative source, instead of from rogue sources. The method has
the same security properties as the RDAP protocols themselves. The
transport used to access the registries could be more secure by using
TLS [RFC5246] if IANA supports it.
Additional considerations on using RDAP are described in
[I-D.ietf-weirds-rdap-sec]
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
12. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to make the RDAP Bootstrap Services Registries,
created below, available as JSON objects. The contents of these
registries are described in Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5, with
the formal syntax specified in Section 10.
The process for adding or updating entries in these registries
differs from the normal IANA registry processes: these registries are
generated from the data, processes, and policies maintained by IANA
in their allocation registries (([ipv4reg], [ipv6reg], [asreg], and
[domainreg])), with the addition of new RDAP server information.
IANA is expected to create and update RDAP Bootstrap Services
Registries entries from the allocation registries as those registries
are updated.
This document does not change any policies related to the allocation
registries, but IANA will need to provide a mechanism for collecting
the RDAP server information. The RDAP Bootstrap Services Registries
will start empty and will be gradually populated as registrants of
domains and address spaces provide RDAP server information to IANA.
IANA is asked to create a new top-level category on the Protocol
Registries page, http://www.iana.org/protocols . The group will be
called "Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Registries". Each
of the RDAP Bootstrap Services Registries needs to be made available
for general public on-demand download in the JSON format, and that
registry's URI will be listed directly on the Protocol Registries
page, in addition to being linked from the registry's name. Those
entries in the new category might look like this:
------------------------------
Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP)
Bootstrap Service Registry RFC xxxx
for IPv4 Address Space http://iana URI for IPv4 bootstrap
Bootstrap Service Registry RFC xxxx
for IPv6 Address Space http://iana URI for IPv6 bootstrap
Bootstrap Service Registry RFC xxxx
for AS Number Space http://iana URI for ASN bootstrap
Bootstrap Service Registry RFC xxxx
for Domain Name Space http://iana URI for DN bootstrap
------------------------------
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
Other normal registries will be added to this group by other
documents, but it is important that the URIs for these registries be
clearly listed on the main page, to make those URIs obvious to
implementors -- these are registries that will be accessed by
software, as well as reference information for humans.
Because these registries will be accessed by software, the download
demand for the RDAP Bootstrap Services Registries may be unusually
high compared to normal IANA registries. The technical
infrastructure by which registries are published will need to be
reviewed, and might need to be augmented.
As discussed in Section Section 8, software that accesses these
registries will depend on the HTTP Expires header field to limit
their query rate. It is, therefore, important for that header field
to be properly set to provide timely information as the registries
change, while maintaining a reasonable load on the IANA servers.
The HTTP Content-Type returned to clients accessing these JSON-
formatted registries MUST be "application/json", as defined in
[RFC7159].
Because of how information in the RDAP Bootstrap Services Registries
is grouped and formatted, the registry entries may not be sortable.
It is therefore not required or expected that the entries be sorted
in any way.
12.1. IPv4 Address Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
Entries in this registry contain at least the following:
o a CIDR [RFC4632] specification of the network block being
registered
o one or more URLs that provide the RDAP service regarding this
registration.
12.2. IPv6 Address Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
Entries in this registry contain at least the following:
o an IPv6 prefix [RFC4291] specification of the network block being
registered
o one or more URLs that provide the RDAP service regarding this
registration.
Blanchet Expires June 21, 2015 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Finding Authoritative RDAP Service December 2014
12.3. Autonomous System Number Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
Entries in this registry contain at least the following:
o a range of Autonomous System numbers being registered
o one or more URLs that provide the RDAP service regarding this
registration.
12.4. Domain Name Space RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry
Entries in this registry contain at least the following:
o a domain name attached to the root being registered
o one or more URLs that provide the RDAP service regarding this
registration.
