SLP: Service Location Protocol

The Service Location Protocol (SLP) provides a scalable framework for the discovery and selection of network services. Using this protocol, computers using the Internet no longer need so much static configuration for network services and network-based applications. This is especially important as computers become more portable, and users less tolerant or less able to fulfill the demands of network system administration.
