SLP can be used to advertise services of any kind through the use of URLs. However, SLP uses URLs for two purposes: as a LOCATOR (indicating the location of the service) and as an IDENTIFIER (used for subsequent operations on a service, such as registration, deregistration and looking up attributes.) Confounding these two functions in one object leads to certain problems. The serviceid: scheme separates identification from location, eliminating these problems.}, }
