Introduction This document describes an IRIS namespace for Internet address registries using an XML Schema [4] derived from and using the IRIS [8] schema. This schema and registry type are provided to demonstrate the extensibility of the IRIS framework beyond the use of domains, a criteria defined in CRISP [10]. The schema given is this document is specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described in XML [1], XML Schema notation as described in XML_SD [3] and XML_SS [4], and XML Namespaces as described in XML_NS [2].

Document Terminology 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 RFC2119 [7]. Newton Expires May 5, 2003 [Page 4] Internet-Draft iris-areg November 2002 3. Schema Description IRIS requires the derivation of both query and result elements by a registry schema. These descriptions follow. The descriptions contained within this section refer to XML elements and attributes and their relation to the exchange of data within the protocol. These descriptions also contain specifications outside the scope of the formal XML syntax. Therefore, this section will use terms defined by RFC 2119 [7] to describe the specification outside the scope of the formal XML syntax. While reading this section, please reference Section 4 for needed details on the formal XML syntax. 3.1 Query Derivatives 3.1.1 Query searches for contacts given search constraints. The element specifies the beginning of the common name of the contact. The element contains the end of the common name of the contact. 3.2 Result Derivatives 3.2.1 Result The element represents a name server. It contains elements for the fully qualified host name of the host, the IP address of the host, and a reference to the host contact. The address elements contain the IP address of the name server, either IP v4 or IP v6, and an optional reference to the network which contains the given address. 3.2.2 Result The element an IP network. It has the following child elements: o contains an entity URI to the holder of the network. o contains an entity URI to the technical contact of the network. o Either or must be present. Each element contains children representing the start and end of the network in the appropriate format. Newton Expires May 5, 2003 [Page 5] Internet-Draft iris-areg November 2002 3.2.3 Result The element represents an assigned autonomous system. It has the following children: o contains an entity URI to the holder of the autonomous system. o contains an entity URI to the technical contact of the autonomous system. o is a registry assigned unique identifier. o is a positive integer representing the starting number of the autonomous system. o is a positive integer representing the final number of the autonomous system. 3.2.4 Result The element represents the registration of a point of contact. The children are , containing a registry assigned unique identifier, and , which holds the common name of the contact. The other children of this element are optional and contain Internet, phone, and postal address information. 3.3 Support for The following types of named entities are recognized by the query of IRIS via derivation of the element: o host-name - the fully qualified host names of nameservers. Queries with these names will yield a result. A host may be multi-homed and therefore known by many host names. o host-handle - a registry unique identifier of a nameserver. Yields a result. o ipv4-host - the IPv4 address of a nameserver. Yields a result. o ipv6-host - the IPv6 address of a nameserver. Yields a result. o ipv4-address - a network for which an IPv4 address resides. Newton Expires May 5, 2003 [Page 6] Internet-Draft iris-areg November 2002 Queries with these names will yield a result. o ipv6-address - a network for which an IPv6 address resides. Queries with these names will yield a result. o autonomous-system - the positive integer (ASN) representing specifying an autonomous system. It yields a result of . o contact-handle - a registry unique identifier of a contact. Yields a result of . Newton Expires May 5, 2003 [Page 7] Internet-Draft iris-areg November 2002 4. Formal XML Syntax This IP address registry is specified in the XML Schema notation. The formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation suitable for automated validation of an XML instance when combined with the formal schema syntax of IRIS.

BEEP Transport Compliance IRIS allows several extensions of the core capabilities. This section outlines those extensions allowable by IRIS-BEEP [9]. 5.1 Message Pattern This registry type uses the default message pattern as described in IRIS-BEEP [9]. 5.2 Authority Resolution The authority resolution for this registry type is similar to the default resolution spelled out in IRIS-BEEP [9]. The default authority resolution process allows for the authority to be o a domain name o a domain name accompanied by a port number o an IP address o an IP address accompanied by a port number The resolution process for this registry only differs if the authority is only an IP address (i.e. without the port number). The process for this condition is as follows: 1. The IP address is converted into a domain name appropriate for the reverse DNS tree mapping. For instance, 64.83.37.226 is 226.37.83.64.in-addr.arpa. 2. The SRV algorithm is used with a service parameter of "iris" and a protocol parameter of "tcp" to determine the IP/TCP addressing information. 3. If no SRV records are found (e.g. for "_iris._tcp.226.37.83.64.in-addr.arpa"), then the left-most component of the domain name from step one is removed, and the second step is repeated again (e.g. for "_iris._tcp.37.83.64.in- addr.arpa"). 4. If all the components of the domain name from step one are removed and no SRV records are found, then the original IP address is used and the port number used is the well-known port assigned by the IANA for IRIS using BEEP.

IANA Considerations The following URN will need to be registered with IANA according to the IANA considerations defined in IRIS [8]: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:areg1 Newton Expires May 5, 2003 [Page 17] Internet-Draft iris-areg November 2002 8.
