Title : Notification and Subscription for SLP

The Service Location Protocol provides mechanisms whereby service agent
clients can advertise and user agent clients can query for services.
The design is very much demand-driven, so that user agents only obtain
service information when they specifically ask for it. There exists
another class of user agent applications, however, that requires
notification when a new service appears or disappears. In the RFC 2608
design, these applications are forced to poll the network to catch
changes. In this document, we describe a protocol for allowing such
clients to be notified when a change occurs, removing the need for
polling.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
