RDAP Queries Per Month

RDAP v4 RDAP v6

#ARIN42

Days in the Life of Whois/Whois-RWS/RDAP•Goal for directory services is for people to query the service and

receive results in a reasonable amount of time while abiding with the Whois Terms of Service• Some automation is expected•With automation, if the rate is too high, overuse may lead to

tarpitting

14

#ARIN42

•Directory service (Whois/Whois-RWS/RDAP) abuse continues• Talked about this at ARIN 40, 41, and now 42• Each incident requires a team response to look at the system,

identify the abusers, notify the abuser, and potentially deny access to the abuser• Interrupts sleep or work (or both if the abuse is over a long

duration)• Does not scale

• Terms of use talks about what the acceptable reasons why you can use the data (https://www.arin.net/whois_tou.html)• Does not talk about acceptable query rates15

Directory Service Abuse

#ARIN42

Slowing Down Abuse• Automated those who abuse our directory services with a concept called

tarpitting• How tarpitting works:

• If the rate limit is exceeded, any queries over that rate limit are put on a queue.

• This queue is looked at every 2 seconds and queries are then allowed to be processed as long as the current queries do not exceed the limit.

• If the rate is sustained and the queue limit has been met, then the queries on the queue are popped off in a FIFO fashion with a tcp reset back to the source.
