1. Introduction
Querying and retrieving registration data from registries are defined
in Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) [RFC7480] [RFC7482]
[RFC7483]. These documents do not specify where to send the queries.
This document specifies a method to find which server is
authoritative to answer queries for the requested scope.
Top-Level Domains (TLDs), Autonomous System (AS) numbers, and network
blocks are delegated by IANA to Internet registries such as TLD
registries and Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) that then issue
further delegations and maintain information about them. Thus, the
bootstrap information needed by RDAP clients is best generated from
data and processes already maintained by IANA; the relevant
registries already exist at [ipv4reg], [ipv6reg], [asreg], and
[domainreg].
