Service discovery

Service discovery is the automatic detection of devices and services offered by these devices on a computer network. A service discovery protocol (SDP) is a network protocol that helps accomplish service discovery. Service discovery aims to reduce the configuration efforts from users.

Service discovery requires a common language to allow software agents to make use of one another's services without the need for continuous user intervention.[1]

Protocols

There are many service discovery protocols, including:

gollark: " D&D/other tabletop games." is still in my IfPFAtMDaPIUStL list with a note about that, which I should possibly update.
gollark: Katy wanted us to play that, but that never went anywhere because [REDACTED].
gollark: I also read a bit of the fourth edition player's handbook, among other things.
gollark: I™ have™ it™ bound™ using .XCompose™ stuff™ so™ I can easily™ type it.
gollark: yep™.
