Editing Service discovery (section)

==Protocols==
There are many service discovery protocols, including:
* [[Bluetooth]] [[Bluetooth_protocols#Service_discovery_protocol_.28SDP.29|Service Discovery Protocol (SDP)]]
* [[Bonjour (software)|Bonjour]], e.g., Apple [[AirPrint]]
* [[DNS-SD|DNS Service Discovery]] (DNS-SD), a component of [[zero-configuration networking]]
* [[DNS]], as used for example in [[Kubernetes#Services|Kubernetes]]
* [[Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol]] (DHCP); its classification as a service discovery protocol is controversial
* [[Internet Storage Name Service]] (iSNS)
* [[Jini]] for [[Java (programming language)|Java]] objects.
* [[Lightweight Service Discovery]] (LSD), for mobile ad hoc networks <ref>{{Cite conference |last1= Lim |first1= Byong-In |last2= Choy |first2= Kee-Hyun |last3= Shin |first3= Dong-Ryeol |date= 2005 |editor-last= Sunderam |editor-first= V.S. |editor-last2= van Albada |editor-first2= G.D. |editor-last3= Sloot |editor-first3= P.M.A. |editor-last4= Dongarra |editor-first4= J. |title= An Architecture for Lightweight Service Discovery Protocol |conference= International Conference on Computational Science |publisher= Springer Berlin Heidelberg |pages= 963–966 |doi= 10.1007/11428862_148 |isbn= 978-3-540-32118-7 |doi-access= free }}</ref>
* [[Link Layer Discovery Protocol]] (LLDP) standards-based neighbor discovery protocol similar to vendor-specific protocols which find each other by advertising to vendor-specific broadcast addresses (versus all-1's), such Cabletron (Enterasys) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (both referred to as CDP but different formats). 
* [[Local Peer Discovery]], or Local Service Discovery
* [[Multicast Source Discovery Protocol]] (MSDP), usually used for unicast exchange of multicast source information between anycast Rendez-Vous Points (RPs) to service mcast clients. 
* [[Service Advertising Protocol]] used in [[Novell NetWare]] networks with [[Internetwork Packet Exchange|IPX]]
* [[Service Location Protocol]] (SLP)
* [[Session Announcement Protocol]] (SAP) used to discover [[Real-time Transport Protocol|RTP]] sessions
* [[Simple Service Discovery Protocol]] (SSDP), a component of [[Universal Plug and Play]] (UPnP)
* [[Universal Description Discovery and Integration]] (UDDI) for [[web service]]s

* [[Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol]] (WPAD)
* [[WS-Discovery]] (Web Services Dynamic Discovery)
* [[Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol|XMPP]] Service Discovery ([http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0030.html XEP-0030])
* [[XRDS|XRDS (eXtensible Resource Descriptor Sequence)]] used by [[XRI]], [[OpenID]], [[OAuth]], etc.
