RFC 9910: Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Regional Internet Registry (RIR) Search
Recent RFCs 2026-01-08
Summary:
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is used by Regional
Internet Registries (RIRs) and Domain Name Registries (DNRs) to
provide access to their resource registration information. The core
specifications for RDAP define basic search functionality, but there
are various search options related to IP addresses, IP prefixes, and
Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), which are provided by RIRs via
their WHOIS services, but for which there is no corresponding RDAP
functionality. This document extends RDAP to support those search
options.
