Several protocols exist in the industry for device/service
discovery. Each of these protocols addresses the aspects of
device/service discovery in different network environments.
A Service Discovery in a PAN
Personal Area Network (PAN) is dynamic in its nature where devices
may join and leave the network very frequently. A PAN, being an ad-
hoc network, also differs from fixed networks in many other ways.
The current generation of service protocols such as SLP were not
designed for such an environment. This document specifies the
requirements of a service discovery protocol for PANs, which
specifically can be used for applications such as multimedia
session transfer between devices within a PAN.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
