Attribute List Extension for the Service Location Protocol
Overview
RFC 3059, “Attribute List Extension for the Service Location Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2001 by E. Guttman. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a SLPv2 extension which allows a User Agent (UA) to request a service's attributes be included as an extension to Service Reply messages. This will eliminate the need for multiple round trip messages for a UA to acquire all service information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
