Hi, In my opinion SLP has some issues to be deployed, at least it has for our case when we worked in Tunnel End Point discovery (see section 3.5). http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-palet-v6ops-tun-auto-disc-03.txt
A more complete version is available at http://www.consulintel.euro6ix.org/ietf/draft-palet-v6ops-tun-auto-disc-pre- 03.txt Also, a possible solution: http://www.consulintel.euro6ix.org/ietf/draft-palet-v6ops-solution-tun-auto- disc-01.txt I think that we worked out for TEP discovery could also be applicable for the discovery of other services.
