Editing Service Location Protocol (section)

== Adoption ==
* SLP is frequently used for locating printers and supported by printing systems such as [[CUPS]].
* SLP is often found in LAN-enabled printers, so that they are discoverable out of the box. Some client print drivers can use this for printer discovery.
* [[Architecture for Control Networks|ACN]], a protocol being developed for entertainment control, uses SLP to find different devices such as dimmers and intelligent lights.
* [[Classic Mac OS]] and [[Mac OS X]] up to version 10.1 used SLP to locate file shares and other services. However, features introduced with [[Mac OS X]] (version 10.2 onwards) use [[Zeroconf]].
* [[Netware Core Protocol]] (NCP) clients in a pure IP environment use SLP to locate [[Novell NetWare]] and [[Novell Open Enterprise Server]] (OES) servers.
* [[SUSE Linux]] supports SLP for a variety of services since version 9.1.
* [[Sun Microsystems]] supports SLPv1 and SLPv2 including SA, UA and DA functionality.<ref>{{citation |url=http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-1412/806-1412.pdf |title=Service Location Protocol Administration Guide |publisher=Sun Microsystems |date=February 2000 |accessdate=2010-08-19}}</ref>
* The [[Distributed Management Task Force]] has standardized discovery of [[Web-Based Enterprise Management|WBEM Services]] via SLP.
* The [[Storage Networking Industry Association]] has mandated the use of SLP for services discovery in the [[SMI-S|Storage Management Initiative - Specification]].
