CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by John Veizades/Apple Minutes of the Service Location Protocol Working Group (svrloc) We made significant progress in narrowing the scope of this Working Group and the protocol that we are trying to design. We arrived at the decision to limit the scope of this Group to an administrative domain that we defined as an area which is equivalent to the area served by a binding broker (a central site to manage the service topology of the area). Outside of that area the scaling and naming issues are left to the directory services in place. Scott Kaplan from FTP Software and John Veizades from Apple will be working on an architectural document for presentation to the Working Group list by the next meeting. Scott Bradnor from Harvard and Greg Bruell from Shiva offered to comment on preliminary versions of the document. Scott and John met after the meeting and made significant progress on the architecture.
