Modifying DA Advertising and Discovery Frequency

Language:

In situations such as the following, you can modify properties that control the timing of DA advertisements and discovery requests.

When you want the SA or UA to obtain DA configuration information statically from the net.slp.DAAddresses property in the slp.conf file, you can disable DA discovery.
When the network is subject to recurrent partitioning, you can change the frequency of passive advertisements and active discovery.
If UA and SA clients access DAs on the other side of a dial-up connection, you can decrease the DA heartbeat frequency and the active discovery interval to reduce the number of times a dial-up line is activated.
If network congestion is high, you can limit multicasting.

The procedures in this section explain how to modify the following properties.
