	Title		: Interaction of SLP Directory Agents for Reliability 
                          and Scalability

This document presents a scheme for the interaction of Directory
Agents (DAs) in SLPv2 (Service Location Protocol, Version 2).  It
proposes to use a fully meshed peering DA architecture.  Peer DAs
exchange service registration information, and maintain the same
consistent data for the shared scopes.  This scheme provides a
reliable directory service for an SLP system.  It also greatly
simplifies SLP service registration leading to a thin-client Service
Agent (SA) implementation. It is backward compatible with SLPv2, and
   incremental deployment is supported.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
