One thing that I'm not sure whether it's been discussed or not is
service announcement.
By service announcement, I mean where instead of multicasting out a
message looking
for the canonical printer with all of its nasty properties especially
for things with batteries
and lossy/slow networks, a device would instead announce its presence to
something
that would later serve it up (eg, bind9, say).
e.g. an SLP Directory Agent, designed for this purpose some years ago.
[RFC2608], [RFC2610], [RFC3059], [RFC3224], [RFC3421], and [RFC3832]
This is not exactly a new problem.
I looked this over, and I don't think it's what I'm thinking of. I'm
thinking of literally having a device do an IXFR to a real DNS server.
Or something that looks pretty similar to an IXFR, but the key being
that it's a real DNS server. No multicast required ever.
In any case, even if this isn't new ground maybe the problem was that
they didn't hitch their wagon to DNS. Deployment of SLP is I'm guessing
pretty thin.
