Proposal: Write our own SLP implementation to better support the needs of [[OLA]] w.r.t E1.33.

== Pros ==

* Allows verbose logs which make debugging other SLP implementations easier.
* When run in DA mode, our own implementation would support an RPC notification mechanism so we discover devices faster.
* Faster release schedule.
* Will setuid to a non-root user for security.
* Work on Mac OS X without requiring reverse hostname lookups
* Avoid the slpd DOS.

== Cons ==

* Takes time
* Will conflict with the existing slpd on installed systems. For example
<pre>
# debian packages that use slpd and won't we able to be installed
$ apt-rdepends -r slpd | grep -v "^ "

Of these the only one I'm concerned about is cups.

+Of these the only one I'm concerned about is cups. However the latest E1.33 discussion is leaning towards running slp on a non-privileged port (so that Android & IOS devices) work. So this may be a non-issue.
