Remote Service Discovery in the Service Location Protocol via DNS SRV
RFC 3832, “Remote Service Discovery in the Service Location Protocol via DNS SRV”, is an Experimental document published in July 2004 by W. Zhao, H. Schulzrinne, E. Guttman, C. Bisdikian, W. Jerome. It has since been updated by RFC 8553. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Remote service discovery refers to discovering desired services in given remote (i.e., non-local) DNS domains. This document describes remote service discovery in the Service Location Protocol (SLP) via DNS SRV. It defines the DNS SRV Resource Records for SLP Directory Agent services, discusses various issues in using SLP and DNS SRV together for remote service discovery, and gives the steps for discovering desired services in remote DNS domains. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
