RFC 3632                  VeriSign RRP v2.0.0              November 2003


1.  Introduction

   The Network Solutions, Inc. (NSI) Registry Registrar Protocol (RRP)
   was developed by NSI in 1998 and 1999 to allow multiple registrars to
   provide second level Internet domain name registration services in
   the top level domains (TLDs) administered by the NSI TLD registry.
   Version 1.1.0 of the NSI RRP was published as Informational RFC 2832
   [2] in May 2000.  This document describes changes to RFC 2832 that
   specify version 2.0.0 of the protocol.

   Conventions Used In This Document

      The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL
      NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL"
      in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC
      2119 [1].

      In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and
      "S:"  represents lines returned by a protocol server.

2.  Protocol Updates

   This specification describes several modifications to RFC 2832 [2]:
   two new response codes have been added, domain TRANSFER command
   processing has been updated to allow a client to cancel a requested
   domain transfer, and support for IPv6 name server addresses has been
   added.

2.1.  Response Codes

   Section 5.1 of RFC 2832 [2] has been updated to include two
   additional error response codes.

   510 Invalid encoding

   The value of a domain name or name server entity contains invalid
   ASCII compatible encoding used to represent an internationalized
   domain or host name.  The encoding is checked and verified in two
   situations: when registering an internationalized domain name or name
   server name, and when changing the name of a name server and the new
   name of the server is internationalized.
