CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Scott Kaplan/FTP Minutes of the Service Location Protocol Working Group (SVRLOC) The Service Location Working Group met twice to conduct a technical review of the current Internet-Draft. We got a little over half way through the document. The first session focused on the basic network interactions between the user agent and the servers (resource agent/binding broker). The main issues we discussed were how servers should timeout information that they cache and backoff strategies for resending broadcast queries. There was little disagreement. The Group consensus will appear in the next version of the draft. There was also a discussion about whether or not a client could ever converge on receiving database updates if a resource agent rapidly changed its database. Scott Kaplan agreed to review this issue and offer a solution in the next draft. The second session focused on the packet structure. There were minor editorial changes which will appear in the next draft. The second session concluded with a presentation from John Veizades about internationalization. A discussion regarding internationalization issues followed.
