Why LDAP is called light weight?

Answer Posted / tushar rishipathak

LDAP is called lightweight because it is a smaller and easier protocol which was derived from the X.500 DAP (Directory Access Protocol) defined in the OSI network protocol stack.

LDAP servers store a hierarchical directory of information. In LDAP parlance, a fully-qualified name for a directory entry is called a Distinguished Name. Unlike DNS (Domain Name Service) FQDN's (Fully Qualified Domain Names), LDAP DN's store the most significant data to the right.
