A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Service Location Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Service Location Protocol Modifications for IPv6
Author(s) : E. Guttman
Filename : draft-ietf-svrloc-ipv6-11.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 16-Oct-00
The Service Location Protocol provides a scalable framework for the
discovery and selection of network services. Using this protocol,
computers using IP based networks no longer need so much static
configuration of network services for network based applications.
This is especially important as computers become more portable, and
users less tolerant of or less able to fulfill the demands of network
administration.
The Service Location Protocol, Version 2 is well defined for use over
IPv4 networks [3]: This document defines its use over IPv6 networks.
Since this protocol relies on UDP and TCP, the changes to support its
use over IPv6 are minor.
This document does not describe how to use SLPv1 [2] over IPv6
networks. There is at the time of this publication no implementation
or deployment of SLPv1 over IPv6. It is RECOMMENDED that SLPv2 be
used in general, and specifically on networks which support IPv6.

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.
