Service location Protocol (or something like that) it is very much like how
the AppleTalk devices broadcast themselves and you see them in the chooser.

This is what the network browser uses, and OSX's Connect to service.

Now SLP can be configured to be entirely broadcast using multicast, or you
can use unicast by setting up a DA which basically is a directory holder for
all devices that support SLP, then your clients talk to it via a unicast
connection...this is important since we have disabled all multicast traffic
from our wireless vlans.

ExtremeZ-IP (as well as OSX servers and clients) register themselves on the
SLP network so you can browse them in the typical chooser way....
