The Service Location Protocol, Version 2 (SLPv2) provides a mechanism
for a service to be discovered in a single exchange of messages.  This
exchange of messages does not presently include any of the service's
attributes.  This document specifies a SLPv2 extension which allows
a User Agent (UA) to request a service's attributes be included as an
extension to Service Reply messages.  This will eliminate the need
for multiple round trip messages for a UA to acquire all service
information.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
