Select and Sort Extensions for the Service Location Protocol
RFC 3421, “Select and Sort Extensions for the Service Location Protocol”, is an Experimental document published in November 2002 by W. Zhao, H. Schulzrinne, E. Guttman, C. Bisdikian, W. Jerome. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines two extensions (Select and Sort) for the Service Location Protocol (SLP). These extensions allow a User Agent (UA) to request that the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) entries in a Service Reply (SrvRply) be limited to the specified number, or be sorted according to the specified sort key list. Using these two extensions together can facilitate discovering the best match, such as finding a service that has the maximum speed or the minimum load. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
