Title :
Revisiting Whois: Coming to REST
Author :
Sullivan, Andrew ; Kucherawy, Murray S.
Abstract :
The Whois service that provides information about network names and numbers has outlived its usefulness, but previous attempts to replace it haven´t been successful. The authors outline the reasons it needs to be replaced, and highlight a recent effort at the IETF to create a replacement using the REST model.
