When to Deploy DAs

    Deploy DAs on your enterprise if any of the following conditions are true:

  • Multicast SLP traffic exceeds 1 percent of the bandwidth on your network, as measured by snoop.

  • UA clients experience long delays or timeouts during multicast service requests.

  • You want to centralize the monitoring of SLP service advertisements for particular scopes on one or several hosts.

  • Your network does not have multicast enabled and consists of multiple subnets that must share services.

  • Your network employs devices that support earlier versions of SLP (SLPv1) or you would like SLP service discovery to interoperate with Novell Netware 5.
