This document describes the Mesh-enhanced Service Location Protocol
(mSLP).  mSLP enhances the Service Location Protocol (SLP) with a
scope-based fully-meshed peering Directory Agent (DA) architecture.
Peer DAs exchange new service registrations in shared scopes via
anti-entropy and direct forwarding.  mSLP improves the reliability and
consistency of SLP DA services, and simplifies Service Agent (SA)
registrations in systems with multiple DAs.  mSLP is backward
compatible with SLPv2 and can be deployed incrementally.
