Abstract :
A Service Location Protocol has been designed within the Internet Engineering Task Force to simplify or eliminate the configuration needs for users of the Internet and World-Wide Web. This is of increasing importance to mobile users, first because they experience frequently changing network service environments, and secondly because the Internet is itself becoming more service oriented. The basic Service Location Protocol is described, with detailed descriptions of the various protocol entities, messages, and ways of selecting appropriate services
