SLP Agents

The three types of agents that NetWare 5 SLP uses are

Applications running on a computer are represented by a User agent that understands the service and resource needs of the application. Each network service is represented by a Service agent, which makes it available to user agents. SLP dynamically maintains service attributes, so that a User agent can obtain current information.

Of the agents, the Directory Agents have the largest role in NDS SLP.
