I'm trying to find a way to browse and use SLP (Service Location Protocol) services in Cocoa. I cannot seem to find an answer on how to do this. Some people seem to think that SLP is a part of Rendezvous, but none of the Apple documentation mentions using SLP for service discovery. In fact, the only mention of SLP in regards to Rendezvous is Apple encouraging developers not to use it. I, unfortunately, don't have a choice. The network protocol I'm developing for uses SLP for service discovery. So, if I use Rendezvous calls to browse for network services, will it pick up SLP services? Or will I have to use Network Service Location Manager through carbon? Or, perhaps even OpenSLP?
Cheers,
Kevin
