Service Location Protocol (SLP) (RFC2608)
Service Location Protocol (RFC2608) is a method of organizing and locating the resources (such as
printers, disk drives, databases, e-mail directories, and schedulers) in a network. Using SLP, networking
applications can discover the existence, location and configuration of networked devices.
In larger installations, services will register their services with one or more Directory Agents, and clients
will contact the Directory Agent to fulfill requests for Service Location information.
Service Location Protocol consists of three cooperating services:
User Agent (UA): A process working on the user's behalf to acquire service attributes and
configuration. The User Agent retrieves service information from the Service Agents or Directory
Agents.
Service Agent (SA): A process working on the behalf of one or more services to advertise service
attributes and configuration.
Directory Agent (DA): A process which collects information from Service Agents to provide a single
repository of service information in order to centralize it for efficient access by User Agents. There
can only be one DA present per given host.
When a service starts on the network, its Service Agent will query the DHCP server for Option 78 and
79 and will register itself appropriately.
DHCP Options for Service Location Protocol (RFC2610)
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (RFC2131) provides a framework for passing configuration
information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
Entities using the Service Location Protocol, Version 2 (RFC2608) and Service Location Protocol, Version
1 (RFC2165) need to obtain the address of Directory Agents in order to transact messages. The SLP
Directory Agent option described below (Option 78) is used to configure User Agents and Service
Agents with the location of Directory Agents in the network.
The SLP Scope Option (Option 79) provides an assignment of scope for configuration of SLP User and
Service Agents. This option takes precedence over both default and static scope configuration of SLP
agents. A scope is a set of services, typically making up a logical administrative group.
SLP Directory Agent Option (Option 78)
The SLP Directory Agent Option 78 specifies a list of IP addresses for SLP Directory Agents. Directory
Agents should be listed in order of preference.
The Length value must include one for the 'Mandatory' byte and include four for each Directory Agent
address which follows. The address of the Directory Agent is given in network byte order. The
'Mandatory' byte in the Directory Agent option may be set to either 0 or 1. If it is set to 1, the SLP User
Agent or Service Agent so configured must not employ either active or passive multicast discovery of
Directory Agents.
The Directory Agents listed in Option 78 must be configured with the a non-empty subset of the scope
list that the Agent receiving the Directory Agent Option 78 is configured with.
