Description:
A protocol that supports a directory service. A directory service functions somewhat like a database but it differs from traditional relational databases in several ways: It is optimized for reading; adding and updating entries may be expensive, it provides advanced searching features, its fundamental data structures, collectively known as the schema, can be extended according to local needs, it adheres to published standards to ensure interoperability among vendor implementations, specifically, a series of RFCs, and it takes advantage of distributed storage and data replication techniques, allowing it to scale efficiently.
