Registration Data Access Protocol Query Parameters for Result Sorting and Paging
RFC 8977, “Registration Data Access Protocol Query Parameters for Result Sorting and Paging”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by M. Loffredo, M. Martinelli, S. Hollenbeck. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) does not include core functionality for clients to provide sorting and paging parameters for control of large result sets. This omission can lead to unpredictable server processing of queries and client processing of responses. This unpredictability can be greatly reduced if clients can provide servers with their preferences for managing large responses. This document describes RDAP query extensions that allow clients to specify their preferences for sorting and paging result sets.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
