The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Bulk
Update/Replication Protocol (LBURP) allows an LDAP client to perform
a bulk update to an LDAP server.  The protocol frames a sequenced
set of update operations within a pair of LDAP extended operations
to notify the server that the update operations in the framed set
are related in such a way that the ordering of all operations can be
preserved during processing even when they are sent asynchronously
by the client.  Update operations can be grouped within a single
protocol message to maximize the efficiency of client-server
communication.

The protocol is suitable for efficiently making a substantial set
of updates to the entries in an LDAP server.  This memo provides information for the Internet community.
