The LDAP Bulk Update/Replication Protocol (LBURP) described in this
document allows an LDAP client (a genuine client or an LDAP server acting
as a client) to perform a bulk update to a replica on an LDAP server. The
protocol groups a set of update operations using the LDAP framed protocol
requests defined in [FRAMING] to notify the client that the update
operations in the framed set are related. The update operations within the
framed set are LDAPv3 extended operations each encapsulating a sequence
number and one or more LDAPv3 update operations. The sequence number allows
the server to process the update operations in the proper order even when
they are sent asynchronously by the client, and the update operations can
be grouped within the extended request to maximize the efficiency of
client-server communication. The protocol may be used to initialize all of
the entries in an LDAP replica or to incrementally update the existing
entries in an LDAP replica. It is suitable for client utilities that need
to efficiently initialize a replica with many entries or efficiently make a
substantial set of update changes to a replica. It is also suitable as a
protocol for replication between a single master replica and its slave
replicas.
