Re: [ecf-dev] SLP Discovery
Hi Markus,

I am using it to expose remote services from my Raspberry pi. It works great but it takes a little before a service is discovered. Should I use some other discovery provider? My favorite provider (Zookeeper ;) seems overkill for the PI + discovery on a LAN.

Cheers,

Wim

Hi Wim,

it's the nature of the SLP protocol to periodically (re-) discover
services. If you want to speed up this process, you will have to deploy
a Directory Agent (DA) on your network. A DA is a centralistic role in
SLP which knows about all existing services and can be queried by users.

Yes, the timer is in org.eclipse.ecf.internal.provider.jslp.JSLPDiscoveryJob

You can obviously explicitly discover new services via
org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.IDiscoveryLocator.getServices().

What exactly are you using jSLP for?

HTH
