Subject: Protocol Action: Finding Remote Directory Agents and Service 
	   Agents in the Service Location Protocol via DNS SRV to 
	   Proposed Standard
-------------

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Finding Remote Directory 
 Agents and Service Agents in the Service Location Protocol via DNS 
 SRV' <draft-zhao-slp-remote-da-discovery-04.txt> as a Proposed 
 Standard. 

 This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF 
 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Thomas Narten and Erik 
 Nordmark.
   
   
Technical Summary
   
This document describes how to find Directory Agents (DAs) and
Service Agents (SAs) in the Service Location Protocol (SLP) at remote
DNS domains via DNS SRV. It defines the SLP service and the DNS SRV
Resource Record for the SLP service, describes the usage of Gateway
DAs, and gives the steps for a User Agent to discover desired
services in remote DNS domains.

   
Working Group Summary
   
This document is not the product of an IETF WG. However, it has been
reviewed (and modified) in response to comments from Thomas Narten &
Erik Guttman (a former SLP chair) prior to being last called. No
comments were received during the Last Call.
   
Protocol Quality
   
This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.
