A separate RFC defining LDAP over UDP would be easy to > produce. -- Tim Tim, In my mind, there is a difference between running LDAP over UDP and running a connectionless LDAP. A "connectionless" LDAP should really be a stateless LDAP. In a stateless LDAP, a client should be able to completely encapsulate a useful operation (such as a READ) into a single UDP data transmission and receive a result in a single data transmission. The BIND should be implicitly anonymous, or optionally defined on the same exchange. Once you start getting into BIND, response, READ, response exchanges, you have a stateful protocol. Thoughts?
