RFC 2608: Service Location Protocol, Version 2

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 3224. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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