Description
The Service
Location Protocol (SLP) was standardized in the IETF
by the SVRLOC working group. It provides automatic client configuration
for applications and advertisement for network services. Activity continues,
although the official IETF working group has concluded (see the working
group history).
The Service Location
Project exists to coordinate continued standardization, implementation,
interoperability tests, as well as to distribute information about new
applications of SLP and software which uses it.
