A new Request for Comments is now available in the online RFC
libraries.
Note: This is a PostScript RFC, a secondary version is available in
ASCII. The secondary ASCII version may lack figures and the
information encoded in typographic variation (italics, boldface,
etc.). Since this information often provides essential context, the
ASCII version is at best incomplete and at worst misleading. Anyone
expecting to understand this document is strongly encouraged to obtain
the PostScript version.
RFC 1279:
Title: X.500 and Domains
Author: S. Kille
Mailbox: S.Kille@cs.ucl.ac.uk
PS-Pages: 13 ASCII-Pages: 15
PS-Characters: 170,029 ASCII-Characters: 26,669
Updates/Obsoletes: none
pathname: rfc/rfc1279.ps
This RFC considers X.500 in relation to Internet and UK Domains. A
basic model of X.500 providing a higher level and more descriptive
naming structure is emphasised. In addition, a mapping of domains
onto X.500 is proposed, which gives a range of new management and user
facilities over and above those currently available. This
specification proposes an experimental new mechanism to access and
manage domain information on the Internet and in the UK Academic
Community. There is no current intention to provide an operational
replacement for DNS.
This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Please
refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards"
for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
