Hi all,
I just subscribed to this list, with the purpose of putting this question.

Most RIRs are overhauling their whois databases in order to fix abuse
point of contacts.  That includes removing query limits, and possibly
provide "abuse-poc-finder" utilities.  However, they are bound to come
up with five different things, and leave the caching as is.

The question is:  why not have a global domain providing such data
over rDNS queries?  For example,

   dig +short 30.58.22.12.abuse-poc.iana.org txt

That would either return "no record" (3) or the abuse email address,
according to whois information (in ARIN, in this example.)  IANA would
delegate zones of that domain to RIRs, mirroring IP allocations.  Each
RIR would populate its zones according to abuse-mailboxes present in
their whois database, with a suitable TTL.

That would allow full automation of abuse reporting.  Simple and easy,
isn't it?

Ciao
Ale

If you can get at least three RIRs to sign up to do this, that would
be great.  If not, we'd just be wasting our time.

My Gosh, that seems one of those tasks like finding 50 Righteous in
Sodom...  Wouldn't one RIR be enough, for starting?

I have to start from one anyway.

I don't think it would make much difference, since those addresses are
already published.  Most of them are red herrings, like abuse@, that
you couldn't hide anyway.

The net effect of the change is the possibility to specify algorithms
for abuse reporting, thus moving it from black art to logical empiricism.

Then, of course, we cannot say that reporting all (or most) spam will
eventually make it cease.  I think trying is the only way to know.

There's already an active discussion on abuse objects in RIPE. If that were=
 adopted I'd be happy, as I'm really sick of people sending notifications t=
o me directly - totally ignoring our abuse contact *sigh*

This would require RIRs to stand up zones that populate a record for every =
IP address under their stewardship. Think about how that would work in IPv6=
?
Special server software would be required that duplicates the IP search fun=
ctions already found in Whois. There is also the issue of obtaining the Abu=
se POC for the most specific network vs any of the upstream networks, and t=
he political implications of getting IANA to stand up another zone. Additio=
nally, this would be complex in ERX space.

You could ask that network operators populate their zones with a TXT, but y=
ou would still have the problem that not all networks fall neatly on a labe=
l boundary.

I think this problem is best left outside of DNS.

Unfortunately, all too true.

Interesting idea, but:

For one thing, I'd recommend using the RP RR, not TXT.
For another, getting the RIRs to do anything in unison appears to be a =
_major_ undertaking.
For another, associating it with IANA can potentially result in a really =
unpleasant amount of politics, both ICANN<->RIR as well as ICANN<->US =
Government.

isn't it?

'Simple and easy', particularly in the context of providing common =
interfaces to the outside world, doesn't really appear to be a goal of =
the RIR system.

What sort of abuse are you imagining?  And how would the n (n<=3D5) =
different systems based on whois the RIRs are likely going to come up =

I thought Alessandro said the RIRs were removing rate limiting (and =
developing special tools) for abuse POCs.

Since abuse contacts must be published in various forms for various =
reasons, it would seem they are already subject to harvesting for spam.

And it always confuses me when things like 'abuse@', 'postmaster@', =
'root@' and 'spam@' end up on spam lists -- a simple regexp would remove =
them and seems not self reporting yourself to the abuse folk would be an =
obvious win...

Why?  As far as I understand what is being proposed, the idea is to =

This could probably be dealt with by naming conventions, e.g., =
_parent.10.abuse.<tld> or somesuch.

Indeed.  There are two political complications with using an "IANA =
zone":

1) figuring out whether it becomes part of the IANA functions contract =
between ICANN and the U.S. Dept. of Commerce
2) figuring out how to get the RIRs to actually play along.

At least one of these is likely intractable.  However, there are plenty =
of alternative domains that could be used, e.g., ABUSE-POC.<gtld> or =
even NRO.NET.

How would it be any more complicated than in-addr.arpa in the ERX space?

Sorry, not sure what you mean.  Are you saying an RFC 2317-like solution =

Perhaps so, but I'm not fully convinced as yet.  In any event, I don't =
have a strong opinion as to the protocol/mechanism/data model/schema for =
an abuse POC system.  What I do have a strong opinion on is that we stop =
having N (1 < N <=3D 6) _different_ systems that do exactly the same =
thing.

IPv6 could be done differently, as it seems less urgent.  There is a
proposal [JL] to avoid cache blasting by forcing clients to discover
the granularity of an IPv6 allocation and then query the correct
range.  That increases the number of queries, but also increases the
likelihood of cache hits.  Alternatively, it could be structured as a
whitelist, like the Dutch [WL] or other IPv6 whitelists.

As David suggested, IPv4 can strictly mirror the structure of
in-addr.arpa, but getting the TXT record from whois.

No, differently than in-addr.arpa, this new zone shouldn't be further
delegated.  This way, one can be sure it faithfully adheres to whois
data.  Manual investigations would continue to use the full, richer
database served by whois, e.g. to check who is the record maintainer,
what is the last update, and the like.

As John said, we'd better wait for some RIRs to sign up to (possibly)
do this if we want to talk reality.

RP has a problem with "@".  TXT seems to be the de-facto standard for
this kind of use.

Yes, I'd say _the_ major undertaking.  All practical stuff has to be
done there.

I thought about IANA because it already coordinates the global IP
number space, besides doing IETF specific assignments.  It would make
sense that they serve directly non-public addresses, like they do for
similar .arpa zones.

I wonder if the NRO is --or should be-- providing any coordination on
this topic.

This would require the synthesis of records for every IP address =
allocated.
Given that multiple contacts can be attached to a network registration, =
that could mean multiple records per IP address. (Additionally, the RP =
record does not help clarify between a contact with multiple email =
addresses and multiple contacts, nor does it account for phone numbers.)
So even in IPv4 that synthesis could balloon into a large number of =
unmanageable records.
Again, special DNS server software would be required.

This problem could be applied simply to the RESTful interfaces that are =
documented in the drafts that have been circulated on this list.

Using the ARIN interface as an example (but not to suggest that it be a =
final way), the IP lookups could provide the feature:

  http://whois.arin.net/rest/ip/192.168.0.1/pocs

or more specifically for Abuse contacts

  http://whois.arin.net/rest/ip/192.168.0.1/pocs/abuse

Does that sounds workable?

If ARIN were willing to do that, it'd be fine.

I doubt that anyone needs to look up abuse contacts as briskly
as they consult DNSBLs.

One aspect where this mechanism differs from other proposals that have
been discussed is its simplicity.  The moment everybody agrees, we can
order any additional hardware right away, gather the software while we
wait for it to arrive, and tah dah!

However, this proposal is not meant to replace any previous work, and
it is not totally unlike it.  The most conspicuous similarity being
the amount of synergism required.  Indeed, as synergy is about /all/
that is required to go, we could regard such DNS way as an acid test
to measure whether this global community is able to cooperate.

RESTful interfaces are being designed to do some more than retrieving
an abuse-poc.  However, we don't think that abuse-poc addresses will
be heavily looked up, as it may not even be worth to fully automate
spam-reporting.  This sounds contradictory to me, what am I missing?

Both interfaces, RESTful and rDNS, are only useful as long as we want
to automate something.  I'm so single-minded to assume that what we
want to automate is related to the spam problem.  Hence, the sooner we
launch automated spam-reporting, the sooner we'll know what else
exactly do we need to do to cope with that.  Right?

The single abuse@ address datum needs to be available free of access
hindrances.  Where policies state that certain occurrences may flag
that datum as non-public, looking it up will return "no such domain".
 Making such a statement would be a relevant leap forward, albeit not
a technical change[*], and may allow to proceed more firmly with the REST.

Your requirement is for abuse contact information.  The mechanism you 
proposed looks simple.  draft-kucherawy-weirds-requirements-01 lists 
other data which people find useful.  Your mechanism would not 
support that.  Should the data provider, in this case RIRs, order 
additional hardware and software for each use case?  That seems like 
a waste of resources to me.

There are currently three I-Ds:

   draft-fiorelli-weirds-rws-00
   draft-newton-weirds-arin-whoisrws-00
   draft-sheng-weirds-icann-rws-dnrd-00

ARIN has been taking in some flak as some people prefer legacy Whois 
instead of the REST API.  The vendors, in this case, ARIN, ICANN and 
RIPE, are working on REST mechanisms.  You are proposing a mechanism 
based on DNS.  Standardization is also about solving all that by 
coming up with a common approach.

Regards,
-sm

The whois protocol is ideal for simple scripts.  As long as it
exists I'll use whois.abuse.net for the purposes of my script;
the alternative "capture nslookup output" isn't very attractive.

In other unrelated scripts sending a HTTP GET is simple enough,
but parsing the answer is slightly more convoluted, e.g., if the
server insists on HTTP/1.1 chunking instead of HTTP/1.0 replies.

That would be my =80 0,01.  For the second cent, nothing is wrong
with two interfaces (REST + whois) for the same public database;
folks implementing clients can pick whatever they like better.

I'll see what I can do about addressing this.

In the meantime, we need to keep this in mind for a standardized interface.

Yes

Indeed, it is.  Only the legal aspects of publishing the required

done anyway.

No, it wouldn't.  You should consider this mechanism just an appetizer
before the main course.

Frankly, I don't know if RIPE, for example, would need an additional
disk, cpu, or both.  Certainly, each added service bears additional costs.

Yeah, I had a look at them last spring.  I appreciate that work, but
it didn't really grip me, so I didn't subscribe at the time.  I
changed my mind when I realized that part of its functionality is
requisite for specifying abuse reporting.

Discussions about XML vs REST, caches, and access rights don't tend to
give the impression that implementations are arriving any time soon.

Standardization is also solving problems timely, and I don't think it
would hurt to provide this single datum in advance.  We are already
more than a decade late in abuse reporting, if you consider the
automation achievements struck by the other side.

Yet, DNS is the one exemplified at http://www.abuse.net/using.phtml

Curl or wget should take care of chunking.  HTTP can also provide for
some caching, via a local proxy.  That's discussed in Andy's draft
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-newton-weirds-arin-whoisrws-00#section-5

However, if more specific behavior is needed, it wouldn't be a bad
idea to provide a command line reference client, e.g. implemented
using libcurl.  It could also take care of known differences among
servers.  Moreover, it could take care of locating the right server.

BTW, what is the rationale for having ARIN supply the latter info?
Given that it is not the alphabetical order, it must be either the
physical distance or an historical idiosyncrasy.   Isn't it time to
have IANA do that?

That's just lousy tools, which isn't the fault of the protocol.  If
you had dnstxt from the djbdns package, it'd give you just the contact
addresses with no junk to strip off.

But for something like contact addresses, I'm less concerned about the
details of the protocol than finding something that there is some
chance that the RIRs will implement.

R's,

Yes, using DNS would be nice in scripting languages supporting it.
That is not directly the case for REXX.  In theory I could create
an "extension" (=3D DLL) based on exisisting work, but then I'd end
up with a "works for me on NT" solution not working for others
using REXX on various Linux and IBM (incl. OS/2) platforms.

For folks not knowing it:  REXX is in the (former) IBM-community
roughly what perl/awk is in *NIX communities, or what VB/PS is in
the NT community -- maybe, I never tried the new PS =3D powershell".

I could also try to parse DNS on a binary sockets level directly
in REXX, but when I seriously considered this years ago I found
that it would be an interesting but not a "simple" job.  BTW, the
same script has no trouble to parse DNSBL answers, all the hard
work is hidden in its "get IP" socket interface.  (No IPv6 yet,
but I'm confident that somebody will tackle it sooner or later.
IPv6 and DNSBLs is anyway more on the research side of RFC 5782
and I-D.irtf-asrg-bcp-blacklists.)

"Whois" is also relatively simple on the server side.  As long
it ends up on the MUST-side I have yet no preferences what else
goes into additional SHOULDs.  It would be also fine if the RIRs
and IANA offer 5+1 whois servers based on a "smarter" interface,
where "smarter" means "does not work for all plausible clients".

I'll pick zero.  WG effectiveness depends on whether everyone derives 
a benefit from the work.  At the moment, the benefit is one sided.

A WG consumes a number of man-hours of highly qualified participants,
so I'd guess it costs a lot, while running a DNS server is quite cheap.

As for the expectations, I have no (other) ideas on how to evaluate
the risk that a WG could pause or gradually diminish the amount and
fervor of discussions, and eventually just fade away, leaving
unfinished documents to oblivion.

Indeed, this mailing list was silent for about one month after it had
been surmised that the semantic content of the data is none of IETF's
business.  I plead for the opposite position, that an abuse-contact
email address shall correspond to the mailbox of an abuse team.  We
can also crisply specify what domain names are allowed to appear in
the domain-part of the addresses, what confirmations may be carried
out by the maintainer of the datum, and what periodic checks may be
carried out by the RIR.

The IETF can specify whatever it wants, but there exists no stick that will=
 compel RIRs or anyone to adhere.  It only costs them {money, person-hours}=
 to provide the service to spec, or indeed provide it at all; they get noth=
ing out of it and it doesn't interfere with their ability to operate.  This=
, in addition to constraining itself from layers eight and nine, is why the=
 IETF likes to stick to protocol rather than stipulating policy: We have no=
 enforcement power.  And at least in my view, ICANN has a very weak track r=
ecord of being tough on anyone about anything, so they're unlikely to do so=
 either.

The only stick I can think of is the idea that security service companies l=
ike anti-{spam, virus, phishing} vendors will default to not trusting domai=
ns or networks about which complete WHOIS data is available, and apparently=
 correct.  That will lead to reputation about WHOIS providers (see also the=
 REPUTE WG).  This might compel compliance even in the absence of policy fr=
om ICANN.

ICANN actually has a common WHOIS format for domain registries that's
widely used.  But they have no say at all over the RIRs, so I agree
with you that this whole argument is basically pointless.

It only applies to thick registries. There is no standard format for thin -=

You're right, but I gather that Verisign is supposed to transition to 
thick at some point.

Hi John, I would like to qualify your points a bit. I think all of these
points Jay Daley and Michele has already raised.

Regarding data formats:
=20
- For existing gTLD registries, ICANN specifies the format in registry
agreements somewhat (see appendix 5 of various registry agreements
http://www.icann.org/en/registries/agreements.htm).

- For existing gTLD registrars, ICANN only specify the data elements (see
RAA 3.3.1, http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/ra-agreement-17may01.htm#3),
how those date elements are represented and displayed is up to each
registrar to decide.

- For ccTLD registries, each ccTLD operator sets its own policy regarding
what to display and how to display them in WHOIS.

- For new gTLDs, ICANN require thick registry as well as a common data
format.

Kind regards,=20

Just the standard sanctions for RRA violations, but the thick registries 
all implement the WHOIS format perfectly well so it's never been an issue. 
There's the usual problem that registrants lie, but that's separate from 
the WHOIS format.

> What are the chances of them getting tougher on the RIRs?

Zero.  ICANN has no authority over the RIRs.

    ICANN actually has a common WHOIS format for domain registries that's
    widely used.

Not really.  There are some common used formats but they differ
wildy by registry (operator), see below the whois output for
example.net and example.org.

To have a common WHOIS format is a desire in ICANN circles.

The short answer is nobody. :-)

You could get this done through the respective RIR communities if you 
think that it is worth the effort.

The old thin registries for .COM and .NET are different for each 
registrar.  All the other registries have a thick WHOIS, and they're all 
the same.

I realize that there's more names in .COM than anywhere else and, really, 
I understand how painful it is to parse.  I have a 2600 line perl module 
that gets maybe 80% of them.

R's,
John

Their members.  I suppose in theory the various governments, although I 
don't know of any that have engaged with them much.

The RIRs are not totally evil.  Within the past year or so several have 
tightened the rules about abuse contacts.

Hello,

Right.
APNIC introduced a mandatory IRT Object in November 2010.
AfriNIC decided to have an so far not-mandatory abuse-c and is working
on that at the moment.
RIPE is having a Task-Force and will come up with a proposal until end
of October for RIPE 63.
ARIN decided to make an abuse contact mandatory in future.

All these changes are initiated by policy proposals. Everybody is
allowed to bring in such proposals, discuss it with the community and
try to get consensus.

Thanks,

Tobias

(wearing my RIPE Anti Abuse Co-Chair hat)

    (johnl)
    The old thin registries for .COM and .NET are different for
    each registrar.  All the other registries have a thick WHOIS,
    and they're all the same.

If you limit yourself to gTLD registers. With ccTLDs, the mess gets
bigger (in case there is a whois service available--sometimes there
isn't at all, sometimes it is only via a web form--some have non-ascii
answers thrown in for code measures etc. etc).

    (johnl)
    I realize that there's more names in .COM than anywhere else
    and, really, I understand how painful it is to parse.  I have
    a 2600 line perl module that gets maybe 80% of them.

Before I get back into lurking mode let me make one observation:
Most time when I hear  people talking about "the whois problem"
they often mean gTLD registries and if you listen closely, they
often really mean only the .COM registry. If they mean address
registries most times they are mentioned separately.

Anyway, this discussion shows to me that there is a real need for
decent structured information from a "whois type of service" and
that a quick fix using DNS (which started this discussion) is not
going to fly.

Hi Andy,

Section 2. says about path specification, but doesn't say how client 
will locate such path. By which I mean different RIR will clearly could 
go with different path, and may do changes in time to this path, 
hardcoding this path in client isn't best solution.

Or this will be covered in another draft?

Please excuse my ignorance on topic.

Thanks

I'm unable to understand the need for the rDNS type of query.  How is
/rdns/2.0.192.in-addr.arpa different from /ip/192.0.2?  Possibly, the
latter could allow CIDR notation, e.g. /ip/192.0.2/24. Optional and
numeric, it allows any combination, e.g.:

  http://example.com/somepath/ip/192.0.2.0/operator
  http://example.com/somepath/ip/192.0.2.0/24/operator
  http://example.com/somepath/ip/192.0.2/24/operator
  http://example.com/somepath/ip/192.0.2.80/26/operator
  http://example.com/somepath/ip/192.0.2.80/26

With respect to the "quick fix using DNS", this one can certainly
serve more structure.  However, it misses some way of discovering the
"example.com" and "somepath" parts.

For a typo, s/maybe/may be/ in its only occurrence.

It's undoubtedly great that they're taking these steps, but I think what we=

Once you get into CIDR notation in queries, there are multiple issues to de=

nally, some network registrations do not neatly fall into a CIDR boundary a=
nd therefore results can be confusing. The vast majority of Whois queries (=
at least of ARIN) are straight IP lookups.

Also note that CIDR queries can easily yield more than one answer, and that=
 all the queries in the document are intended to generate either one or no =
result.

We understand IANA have no more allocation in IPv4 so it more like one 
time work, but not for IPv6.

What I thinking was is some kind DNS query which helps detect URL or 
just subdomain at least, to help redirect request to proper server.

Fair enough. This is just require programmer to release new versions 
when there new allocations, as we having this with current WHOIS, which 
I would like to avoid and make it robust.

And from my point of view rollout new DNS record (i didn't read S-NAPTR 
RFC yet) much easier than doing new HTTP server rollout because of load 
(just random example). And I barely believe this add lot complexity, 
maybe I'm wrong?

It's just we have hierarchical DNS system, why not make use of it, same 
as IANA->RIRs->ISPs. And IANA could fill allocation in their DNS zone, 
just saying.

I hear you. But not all programmers have access to the same tools you do. N=
early all of them can get their hands on an HTTP client library, but advanc=
ed DNS libraries are not that wide spread.

The advantage of a "quick fix using DNS" is that it greatly decreases =

than "Not Invented Here Syndrome" (unless someone can successfully argue =
that the needs for an abuse contact in the ccTLD space is different than =
the need for an abuse contact in the RIR space).

I keep hoping folks will remember that despite all the political =

make use of registration-related data don't bloody well care the =
political affiliation of the registering body.  I also keep hoping for =
world peace, with the same likelihood of having that hope met.

As I said, your registration dollars/euros/etc. at work.

Nikolay,

	I am not sure if I understand your question. We are not defining =
the answer yet for a query, but for example if you query RIR-x whois =
with a resource (IPv4, ASN or IPv6) which is not in the RIR-x pool the =
reply can have a re-direct field to the proper RIR (left-right) or the =
the top level (down-top), which is IANA. Then a query to IANA would have =
the redirect to the proper RIR (up-down).

	Regarding use of DNS, I would prefer to keep this our of DNS =
transport and to use only http.

Regards,
.as

David,

    The advantage of a "quick fix using DNS" is that it greatly
    decreases the degrees of freedom in order to solve an extremely
    limited problem in a way that would be easy to deploy on existing
    infrastructure.  There would be _one_solution that people all
    over the Internet trying to find abuse contacts regardless of
    the resource type could rely upon.

To me it seems that the use of a text record in DNS is similar as
the original ask-a-question, get an-unstructured-blob-as-answer
whois (port 43) protocol. (And I was thinking on the general case,
not just abuse contacts).

    Instead, I fear we're going down the exact same road whois++,
    rwhois, and crisp/iris have gone down.  A solution will undoubtedly
    be proposed to meet a politically distinct subset of the Internet
    resulting in _different_ solutions to the _exact same problem_
    for no reason other than "Not Invented Here Syndrome" (unless
    someone can successfully argue that the needs for an abuse
    contact in the ccTLD space is different than the need for an
    abuse contact in the RIR space).

Was the NIH syndrome the reason of the crisp/iris failure? I'm
afraid I didn't follow the debate closely. However if people want
to try this out using DNS for a limited whois-type service, all the
better. And yes, I agree, world peace is a nice idea as well.

I've suggested using RP for exactly this reason -- the answer is =
explicitly structured.

I'm fairly certain the general case is unsolvable (for non-technical =
reasons).

> Was the NIH syndrome the reason of the crisp/iris failure?

Point taken. There also was no business reason for most to spend =
money/develop/deploy crisp/iris (or whois++ or rwhois), either client or =
server.  There is probably a lesson there somewhere.

In any event, I'll go back to lurking mode. It is clear to me that minds =
are made up.

Not just a new version, but for everyone using it to install the new versio=

You're not thinking like a lazy PHP programmer.  You just send the
same query to all the RIR and country registries, and pick the one
that doesn't 404.  Oh, are all those bogus queries a problem?  Well,
it's not MY problem.

It seems to me that if we're going to go to the effort to invent
something like this, it's worth figuring out a way to provide a
consistent namespace.

So long as we could persuade the RIRs to use consistent URLS, we lazy
non-PHP programmers would be inclined to do it in the DNS.  Assuming
the stuff is all at URLs like, say,

  http://<somehost>/ip/n.n.n.n/whatever

We could route stuff with rDNS style CNAMEs:

*.2.restwhois.net CNAME restful.ripe.net   ; 2/8 allocated to RIPE

*.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.apnic.net ; 202/8 allocated to APNIC
*.0.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.1.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.2.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.3.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.4.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.5.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.6.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.7.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.8.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.9.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
*.10.123.202.restwhois.net CNAME restful.afrinic.net ; 202.123/19 to Afrinic
etc.

So then your URL is

  http://<d>.<c>.<b>,<a>.restwhois.net/ip/<a>.<b>.<c>.<d>/whatever

If we believe that web servers can see the URL, we can even leave the
IP address out of the local part.

R's,
John

PS: Yes, it's a kludge. It's no worse than a lot of other stuff.

Hello,

I see two different requirements here:

a) Discovery of "example.com" and "somepath" parts for any registry.
For this requirement, there are different technical solutions, an
example is use of UDDI. We can simply put together a public UDDI
Registry which publishes service endpoints for any registry. Clients can
automatically access these data then. Obviously there are other
solutions as well. I agree that we have to consider the "lazy PHP
programmer" if we aim for wide spread adoption.

b) Finding the responsible Registry for a given resource. Though this
might look simple, it is a lot more complicated. There is Early
Registration Space as well as Inter-RIR Transfers among other things
which makes creating a universal registry, or a clean look-up list close
to impossible. RIR's are working to improve the situation, by both
cleaning up data and implementing new tools (one example in RIPE is GRS
Whois) but that's still work in progress.

Personally I think it is better to tackle one problem at a time. First
let's start with making the general queries to RIRs standard (which we
are working on), then we can think about making the response more
generic and finally we can discuss service discovery and IANA Delegation
resolving.

Regards,
Kaveh.

That is a really good question. Imho this will be really tricky since
the RIRs (AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, RIPE) are different and the
communities are really different as well. From technical and cultural
perspective.

If you want to have a unified system, you have to bring in the same
proposals to all 5 RIRs and get it ratified by the community and hope
that the RIR will be able to put things in practice.

This is somehing that will probably not happen in 2012 ;-)

Thanks,

Tobias

Arturo,

If we could do proper redirection via HTTP I'm fine with that. I'm just 
propose DNS because it just seems fit here as hierarchical system and 
easy to maintain.

Detect right whois server is pain right now. New ccTLD introduced and I 
have to update my whois client, same apply for new ASN.

My assumption was most people will use generic implementation of WIERDS 
client, instead of writing their own. Or something I misunderstood in 
your sentence?

This is breaks the HATEAOS constraint of REST and is thus not RESTful.

It's possible to make this RESTful by introducing URI templates[1] and a
resource--a service document--describing the URI patterns. Thus the
only URIs that need to be well-known are those of the service documents
detailing the URI templates for WEIRDS databases.

Introducing these two introduces only minimal overhead as clients can
cache the service document after it has been initially fetched. Clients
are thus decoupled from having to be hardwired for a particular URI
namespace and servers are free to modify the URIs for various resources
as fits their needs.

Omitting any namespace declarations, an example of a minimal service
document would look like this:

<?xml encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weirds>
  <service>
    <!-- Various metadata about the WEIRDS service -->
  </service>
    <ip>
      <registration template="ip/{ip}/registration"/>
      <operator template="ip/{ip}/operator">
        <contacts template="ip/{ip}/operator/contacts"/>
        <by-type template="ip/{ip}/operator/contacts/{type}"/>
      </operator>
    </ip>
    <authnum template="authnum/{authnum}">
      <registration template="authnum/{authnum}/registration"/>
      <operator template="authnum/{authnum}/operator">
        <contacts template="authnum/{authnum}/operator/contacts"/>
        <by-type template="authnum/{authnum}/operator/contacts/{type}"/>
      </operator>
    </authnum>
    <rdns template="domain/{dn}">
      <registration template="domain/{dn}/registration"/>
      <operator template="domain/{dn}/operator">
        <contacts template="domain/{dn}/operator/contacts"/>
        <by-type template="domain/{dn}/operator/contacts/{type}"/>
      </operator>
    </rdns>
  </service>
</weirds>

I did this up in XML just for demonstration purposes, but that's really beside
the point: the important thing here is that clients no longer
care what the URIs are and servers are free to implement the namespace
as suits them. Even then, something like the example document wouldn't be
that hard for even a lazy PHP programmer to deal with: XPath is hardly rocket
science.

The one thing I can see people being worried about here is that URI templates
are not yet in the RFC phase, but are still in the ID phase. I don't see that
as being much of a problem myself: RIR query ID can specify the minimal stable
subset of URI templates as I've given above--simple placeholders--and later
when the URI templates ID becomes an RFC (which is pretty much guaranteed to
happen), the spec can be updated to reference that instead.

On the topic of the 'Accept' header, I don't think it's up to us to have to
work around idiot HTTP intermediaries. We could end up filling up half the ID
with various workarounds for that, and it only duplicates something already
specified in HTTP itself unnecessarily. If clients have to work around broken
intermediaries, they're frankly better off bunging a safe cache buster onto
the end of the URI.

With the help of Wikipedia I figured out that nobody "hates AOS".
I'm also confident that I won't try to implement this "just for

One caveat here (wrt a normative reference) is "don't hold your
breath", the work on URI templates started (at least) five years
ago. [1]

Sorry, typo. Meant HATEOAS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS

Yep, hence my minimal stable subset suggestion. We needn't depend on the ID
becoming an RFC any time soon, but the *concept* of URI templates is separate
from any particular syntax. That the ID specifies is a particular syntax, and
a minimal subset of that--simple placeholders bound by '{' and '}'--is stable
and can be specified making reference only to RFC2396 (section 2.4) to
specify how the values ought to be escaped before they're embedded in the
string. Here's the code to implement that minimal subset in Python:

import re
import urllib

def replace(template, values):
    result = ""
    start = 0
    for match in re.finditer(r"\{([a-z_]+)\}", template):
        result += template[start:match.start(0)]
        key, = match.groups()
        if key in values:
            result += urllib.quote(values[key])
        start = match.end(0)
    result += template[start:]
    return result

That was typed off the top of my head, contains little or no error handling,
and may contain minor bugs. Caveat lector.

Felt guilty about not checking it, so here's a shorter version using the
sub() function that I've actually verified is correct:

import re
import urllib

def replace(template, values):
    def on_match(match):
        key = match.group(1)
        if key in values:
            return urllib.quote(values[key])
        return ''
    return re.sub(r"\{([a-z_]+)\}", on_match, template)

Nikolay.

	There is no WEIRDS client (or there are many already there). =
That's why I like http and not dns.

	The client is any http agent (wget, curl, webkit, urllib, etc.).=20=


	For me it wouldn't be very difficult to build a whois server and =
even some API in python/java using restful services. Whilst with DNS, I =

Interesting. What's your proposal for the cache busting? We reserve a query=

Doesn't seem kludgy to me. I kinda like it.

But I don't see how it takes care of the autnum space. I guess we could hav=
e a zone allocated with every autnum in it, but that would be a huge zone.

However, my biggest question is that if you have taken the time to capture =
"restwhois.net" or some other well-known domain name, why not just run an H=
TTP server on that domain that issues redirects?

As for the lazy PHP programmer... I'm well use to them. As I mentioned earl=
y, in the port 43 world a lot of queries start at ARIN and end up at RIPE o=
r LACNIC, etc.... That's because ARIN attempts to keep track of IANA alloca=
tions in its Whois, and client writers have taken that to mean they can imp=
ly referrals. There is nothing stopping this model going forward, although =
Kaveh's suggestion does improve upon it.

Arturo,

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I had doubts and small 
misunderstanding what it will be "WEIRDS" client. So I have to write my 
own script to do output for me.

And now I understand your position, about building whois server.

Whilst with DNS, I wouldn't know where to start for the server and for the client I would use shell scripts (or to dig in some python/java libs). I guess it is not very different for many others trying to produce/use data to/from whois.

You could do the usual rDNS trick, divide the number into smaller pieces 
and use wildcards.  For ASN 1234567890 it might be

  http://0.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.asn.restwhois.net/asn/1234567890/whatever

Scaling.  DNS is cached UDP queries, http is mostly uncached TCP queries. 
If someone's willing to provide the central http server and deal with the 
load, I wouldn't object, but I don't know who's likely to pay for it.  I 
expect the load on the thing would be at least as much as the load on 
ARIN's WHOIS server.

Oops, "re-sorry", what I wrote wasn't intended as a spelling joke:

That's still a lot of records because autnum allocations don't occur on pre=

HTTP caching does exist, and the issues around scaling web services are wel=
l-trodden, even if the solutions don't use public infrastructure.
In our experience, the larger issues do not come from using TCP over UDP, b=
ut from expensive searches against our database... none of which are specif=
ied in this draft.

Yup, that's basically what I'm proposing. I'd propose something that
definitely would never appear in a query string otherwise, such as
'__weirds__cachebust' or something along those lines. I'd also specify
that this is only to be used as a workaround for clients that have to
deal with misbehaving HTTP intermediaries.

CenterGate currently have whois-servers.net, which provides the rather useful
service of having CNAME records for the various top-level domain pointing at
their WHOIS servers. Could we talk to them about using the domain for this
purpose?

Hear, hear.  It seems there is a sort of language-divide between the
web and email, except for web-mail.  PHP and Java, as well as HTTP,
are not commonly used for mail filters on traditional SMTP servers,
AFAIK.  While this shouldn't be a barrier for deployment, it may be
worth noting that the kind of client is yet another dimension of the
"general case" --besides the kind of underlying database and policies.

This doesn't strike me as a very compelling argument.  There is a lot
of DNS server and client libraries and application software available,
both commercial and open source, that can do just about anything you
can imagine, including fetching responses from databases and
synthesizing results on the fly.

Personally, I'm much more familiar with DNS software than with web
server software, so I don't think we should specify anything that
would require that I learn about web servers.  It looke like you and I
cancel out here.

R's,
John

Hi all,

Regarding the I-D, I feel that it would be great if we added prefix
information to the URI, I think it would open new query possibilities.

I imagine something like this:

http://restwhois.net/ip/192.168.0.0/16/registration -> Returns ORG-BIGISP

http://restwhois.net/ip/192.168.0.0/24/registration -> Returns
ORG-CUSTOMER-OF-BIGISP

This would provide more precise querying in the case of ISPs/LIRs/NIRs
subdelegations.

Other possibility could be differentiating ip addresses from ip
prefixes in the path spec:

http://restwhois.net/ip/192.168.0.0/registration -> Given the example
above, the semantics of this operation needs to be further specified.
What do we do? Return records for every possible match? Return record
for longest matches ?

http://restwhois.net/ippfx/192.168.0.0/24 -> Would work in the same
way as spec'ed in the example above.

I like a future where wget is the only client I need :-)

regards

Carlos

Arturo and Kaveh and I have been talking about this privately.

One design consideration that is not explicitly given, is that all the quer=
ies result in either zero or one answer.
Once we get into queries that can return multiple answers, issuing redirect=
s becomes problematic. That is why I initially shied away from CIDR.

However, a network lookup by an IP is the same thing as a network lookup by=
 a /32 (v4 example obviously).
So if we allow CIDR notation and restrict the matching semantics to "most s=
pecific network containing" the query target, which is what we have right n=
ow with IP addresses, I think this will work. That should return either zer=
o or one answer.

Does that sound correct?

The advantages of using web technologies are many. :)

You set the bar so low. I want a future where clients don't require a QWERT=

Yes, it does sound correct to me. I think we should make the semantics
as explicit as possible and I also agree with the zero-or-one answer
requirement in order to make redirects possible.

Let me know if we can help you with the text.

In my existing web scraping scripts, that's what I do when it returns
multiple results, so, yes.

I like it too.

However, the zero-or-one rule can be path-specific.  Another kind of
query, namely rdns, can return a list without compromising overall
consistency.  BTW, I don't think it is necessary for rdns' argument
and results to be in in-addr.arpa format: that only introduces a
difficulty when clients have to compare or generate such values.

BTW, curl 7.20.0 introduced SMTP support.  It is still very basic and
buggy compared with how HTTP and FTP are done, but I wouldn't despair.

We should target web and mail usage on equal terms, though.

Sure.  To get the delegation chain I'd use

   get http://restwhois.net/rdns/192.0.2.87

instead of the "in-addr.arpa format"

   get http://restwhois.net/rdns/87.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa

I'd imagine the answer --in plain text, for simplicity-- can be
something like this:

   192.0.2.87
   192.0.2.80/26
   192.0.2.0/24

Now I can take any element from the list, for example the second, and
use it as a link to an operator query

   get http://restwhois.net/ip/192.0.2.80/26/operator

The other way around, I start with, say,

   get http://restwhois.net/ip/192.0.2.87/contacts/abuse

and get

   inetnum: 192.0.2.80/26
   email: abuse@example.org

Assume I'm not satisfied with this, e.g. because abuse@example.org
bounces.  To get it's next-level-up contact I can use the inetnum from
the result, or the same IP I started with.  That is, I'd query
respectively

   get http://restwhois.net/rdns/192.0.2.80/26

(which I'd imagine returns just two items), or

   get http://restwhois.net/rdns/192.0.2.87

In the latter case I can reckon that the sought item must be the
third, but may still want to check that the second item compares equal
to the inetnum returned on the previous query.  If the other format is
used, both comparison and argument passing require an extra variable
where the bytes are reversed and ".in-addr.arpa" appended, a a
function that is cumbersome and error-prone to write if it's not
provided in the environment.

If we assume that clients operate in typical web environments, we may
come up with solutions that are hard to deploy for mail filters.

Dear colleagues,

I'm attaching a proposed draft WG charter and a possible agenda for a
BOF in Taipei.  Some of you may recall that we had hoped after Quebec
to make greater progress than we have.  For my part, I have let down
my end of the log, due to some personal issues that cropped up at the
end of the Quebec IETF meeting.

The deadline for BOF requests is on Monday.  I already sent a note to
the Apps ADs warning them that a BOF request will be coming.  I'd like
to propose the following as an agenda, and the attached draft charter,
when I make the request.  Both of these are totally tentative,
however, and I'd appreciate feedback, additions, alterations, and
deletions.

Remember that the deadline for the BOF request is Monday.  These
documents don't need to be final when that request is made -- we can
continue work on the list here prior to the IETF meeting -- but I'd
like to be able to demonstrate engagement and activity.  Apart from
the activity we already see on the list, discussion about these two
administrative details will provide evidence of an engaged community
that will create an effective working group.  Therefore, the sooner
you can get your comments in, the better.

Best regards,

A

Proposed agenda (1 hour):

    0.  Agenda bashing.

    1.  A very quick review of the background.

    2.  A pointer to the drafts about actual deployments, but not                  discussion of these.                                                        
    3.  A very quick overview of the then-extant requirements draft.           

    4.  Questions for discussion (at least 30 mins):                                 
        a.  Is this a problem to be solved?                                     
        b.  Is the problem statement in the proposed charter clear                     enough?                                                                 
        c.  Do we think we can solve the problem?                               
        d.  Are there people willing to work on the problem?

WHOIS-based Extensible Internet Registration Data Service (weirds)
------------------------------------------------------------------

DRAFT Charter v 2011-09-29a

Chairs:
    TBD

Internet Area Directors:
    TBD (aimed at APPSAREA)


Description of Working Group:

    Internet registries for both numbers and names have historically
    maintained a lookup service to permit public access to some of the
    registry database.  Most registries offer the service via WHOIS
    (RFC 3912), with additional services being offered via world wide
    web pages, bulk downloads, and other services like RPSL (RFC
    2622).

    A conspicuous problem with WHOIS is that it has never been
    internationalized.  It also has no data model at all: WHOIS
    replies are basically just free-form text.  Finally, WHOIS does
    not offer any differential service; it cannot differentiate among
    clients and offer different information to different classes of
    user.  

    Various attempts to solve limitations of WHOIS have met with mixed
    success.  The most recent of these was IRIS (RFC 3891).

    While there are parts of IRIS that have been widely deployed, as a
    replacement for WHOIS it has not been a success.  The primary
    reasons for this appear to be the complexity of IRIS, the
    fact that it has its own control part, and that it requires
    implementers to understand the details of the transport it is
    using.

    In response to these facts, some registries have deployed
    experimental services that provide the registration information
    services traditionally offered via WHOIS, using a RESTful approach
    to data delivery over the web.  Three such efforts have been
    undertaken, and more may be anticipated in response to the
    increased deployment of IDNA.

    The Working Group shall undertake to document the existing
    efforts, to determine the general needs of such a service; and to
    standardize a data format, to be delivered via a RESTful data
    service using HTTP (optionally using TLS).  The overall effort
    will be broadly aligned with the Cross Registry Internet Service
    Protocol (CRISP) Requirements (RFC 3707), but with the explicit
    additional goal of producing a simple, easy-to-implement protocol
    that is to be deployed via REST.  In addition, the following three
    priorities take precedence over others:

    1.  Complete support for internationalization of queries (i.e. to
    indicate language preferences for responses) and responses.

    2.  A rigorous machine-friendly data model that allows for the
    (current) developments of innovations in TLDs and in number
    registries.

    3.  Support for differential service levels, including bulk
    access, according to different classes of user.

    It is expected that more than one data profile will need to be
    developed to be used in different service environments
    (e.g. number registry versus name registry).  The base
    specification shall include an extension mechanism to permit
    future developments in the served registries.

    One possible outcome of the requirements development stage will be
    that the WG concludes that using one protocol for name and number
    registries is an error, in which case two different but probably
    basically similar protocols will be developed.

Milestones

    [TBD]   Drafts outlining existing deployments to IESG for
    publication as Informational RFCs.

    [TBD]   Draft WEIRDS requirements to IESG for publication as
    Informational RFC.

    [TBD]   Draft WEIRDS base specification to IESG for publication on
    the standards track.

    [TBD]   Draft WEIRDS object specifications to IESG for publication
    on the standards track.

That's ok with me.

There's a later paragraph that suggests it might even be a wholly
different protocol.  I can see this needs more work, though, so I'll
see how I can stitch them together better.

I understood it to be a single metaformat or framework, e.g., everyone
might use the same tag/data format, although the dictionary of tags
would change by application.

Perhaps change point 1 to something like this:

  1.  Complete support for internationalization of queries and
    responses, including a standard representation for IDNs and
    non-ASCII text in queries and responses, and ways to indicate
    language preferences for responses.

It seems to me that the likely outcome there is use UTF-8 everywhere,
give or take some rules about when to use U-labels or A-labels.

Yes.  The point is just that the BOF won't get into details of
proposals, but rather tackle whether we have a problem to solve &
whether we will.

Couldn't the "language preferences" be expressed in terms of charsets
as well?  I don't think we need to distinguish between en-UK and
en-US, albeit most of us would prefer ASCII over Greek if available.

Perhaps "language or character set preferences for responses.  One of
the tasks of the WG will be to determine whether language, character
set, or both is the correct granularity to use."?

I'm currently doing some work for ICANN on their variant issues
project, and I have to say that this topic is an even bigger swamp
than I thought it was going in, so I do think some consideration is
going to be important here.  At bottom, though, we're going to want to
decide whether we want to use language tags or whether we just want to
indicate what script(s) we can handle.

Here is a new draft charter based on the feedback from yesterday.  I
plan to use this in a BOF request I plan to make later today, unless
there are objections.

Thanks for the quick comments!

WHOIS-based Extensible Internet Registration Data Service (weirds)
------------------------------------------------------------------

DRAFT Charter v 2011-09-30a

Chairs:
    TBD

Internet Area Directors:
    Pete Resnick & Peter Saint-Andre

Description of Working Group:

    Internet registries for both numbers and names have historically
    maintained a lookup service to permit public access to some of the
    registry database.  Most registries offer the service via WHOIS
    (RFC 3912), with additional services being offered via world wide
    web pages, bulk downloads, and other services like RPSL (RFC
    2622).

    A conspicuous problem with WHOIS is that it has never been
    internationalized.  In the absence of formal specification, ad hoc
    solutions to signal internationalized registration data have been
    adopted and deployed. The current collection of WHOIS service
    specific signalling, widely varying response formats, and error
    reporting already inhibits automatic processing of WHOIS output.
    Providing a standards-base solution that scales well could
    minimize further proliferation of ad hoc solutions.

    WHOIS also has no data model at all: replies are basically just
    free-form text.  This means that processing of WHOIS output
    amounts to "screen-scraping", with specialized handlers for every
    service.  Finally, WHOIS does not offer any differential service;
    it cannot differentiate among clients and offer different
    information to different classes of user.

    Various attempts to solve limitations of WHOIS have met with mixed
    success.  The most recent of these was IRIS (RFC 3891).

    IRIS has not been a successful replacement for WHOIS.  The primary
    reasons for this appear to be the complexity of IRIS, the fact
    that it has its own control part, and that it requires
    implementers to understand the details of the transport it is
    using.

    In response to these facts, some registries have deployed
    experimental services that provide the registration information
    services traditionally offered via WHOIS, using a RESTful approach
    to data delivery over the web.  Three such efforts have been
    undertaken, and more may be anticipated in response to the
    increased deployment of IDNA.

    The Working Group shall undertake to document the existing
    efforts, to determine the general needs of such a service; and to
    standardize a single data framework, to be delivered via a RESTful
    data service using HTTP (optionally using TLS).  The overall
    effort will be broadly aligned with the Cross Registry Internet
    Service Protocol (CRISP) Requirements (RFC 3707), but with the
    explicit additional goal of producing a simple, easy-to-implement
    protocol that is to be deployed via REST.  In addition, the
    following three priorities take precedence over others:

    1.  Complete support for internationalization of queries and
    responses, including a standard representation for IDNs and
    non-ASCII text in queries and responses, and ways to indicate
    language or character set preferences for responses.  The Working
    Group will need to determine whether language or character set (or
    both) is an appropriate selector.

    2.  A rigorous machine-friendly data model that allows for the
    (current) developments of innovations in TLDs and in number
    registries.

    3.  Support for differential service levels, including bulk
    access, according to different classes of user.

    It is expected that more than one data profile will need to be
    developed to be used in different service environments
    (e.g. number registry versus name registry).  The base
    specification shall include an extension mechanism to permit
    future developments in the served registries.

    One possible outcome of the requirements development stage will be
    that the WG concludes that using one protocol for name and number
    registries is an error, in which case two different but probably
    basically similar protocols will be developed.

Folks wanting "language negotiation" should use a Web interface,
HTTP supports this.  For WHOIS it would be an obscure hack, e.g.,
"add /e when talking with JPNIC, add -Tdn,ace when talking with
 DENIC, do something when talking with RIPE," etc. ad nauseam.

This just does not scale for the thousands of gTLDs presumably
starting next year.  Otherwise WHOIS i18n is as you said very
simple, just use NET UTF-8 (=3D RFC 5198), and let the servers
automatically handle A/U-label in queries and offer both forms
in responses.

IMO a WG Charter only needs a pointer to RFC 5198 wrt i18n, all
technical details are then almost obvious.

And the most convoluted i18n interface doesn't help me to get a
technical contact for say domain arbeitssocke.de abused in some
Amazon phishing if the response is like this:

% Error: 55000000002 Connection refused; access control limit exceeded

Needless to say that this was my first query today (=3D "this IP"),
and manually using the alternative Web interface with a captcha
and some "EULA" is excessively hostile to legit users.

Good point.  If we do some REST-ish thing, it'd probably be fine to tell=20
people to put their language tags in the http query.  If we do something=20
else, extra hackery may be needed.  Either way, I think it would be a good=
=20
idea to say that all responses must be in RFC 5198 network Unicode.

We all have the same problem, but it does not work for an RFC to say "you=

MUST return data that you don't want to return."
