-With the exponential growth of the Internet, a central Whois database that
-provides host and network information of systems connected to the Internet,
-and electronic mail (email) addresses of the users of those systems has
-proven to be very inefficient. The sheer size and effort needed to maintain
-a centralized database necessitates an alternate, decentralized approach to
-storing and retrieving this information.
-
-RWhois is a Directory Services protocol which extends and enhances the Whois
-concept in a hierarchical and scaleable fashion. It focuses on the
-distribution of "network objects"--the data representing Internet resources
-or people--and uses the inherently hierarchical nature of these network
-objects (domain names, Internet Protocol (IP) networks, email addresses) to
-more accurately discover the requested information.
-
-RWhois synthesizes concepts from other, established Internet protocols to
-create a more useful way to find resources across the Internet. The RWhois
-protocol and architecture derive a great deal of structure from the Domain
-Name System (DNS) [RFC 1034] and borrow directory service concepts from
-other directory service efforts, primarily [X.500]. The protocol is also
-influenced by earlier established Internet protocols, such as the Simple
-Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) [RFC 821] for response codes.
