Editing Zero-configuration networking (section)

==Standardization==
{{IETF RFC|2608}}, the SLP standard for figuring out where to get services, was published in June 1999 by the SVRLOC IETF working group.<ref>{{Citation | publisher = IETF | url = http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/33/charters/svrloc-charter.html | title = Service Location Protocol (svrloc) Charter}}</ref>

{{IETF RFC|3927}}, a standard for choosing addresses for networked items, was published in March 2005 by the IETF Zeroconf working group. The group included individuals from Apple, Sun, and Microsoft.<ref>{{Citation | publisher = IETF | url = http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/OLD/zeroconf-charter.html | title = Zero Configuration Networking (zeroconf) Charter | access-date = 2004-10-28 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20041101173627/http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/OLD/zeroconf-charter.html | archive-date = 2004-11-01 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

LLMNR was submitted for official adoption in the IETF DNSEXT working group, however, failed to gain consensus and thus was published as informational {{IETF RFC|4795}} in January 2007.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html | title = DNS Extensions (dnsext) Charter | publisher = IETF | access-date = 2005-03-02 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20050307044356/http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html | archive-date = 2005-03-07 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

Following the failure of LLMNR to become an Internet standard and given that mDNS/DNS-SD is used much more widely than LLMNR, Apple was asked by the IETF to submit the mDNS/DNS-SD specs for publication as Informational RFC as well.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}

In February 2013 mDNS and DNS-SD were published as Standards Track Proposals {{IETF RFC|6762}} and {{IETF RFC|6763}}.
