Re: [p2pi] Charter and problem statement

Hi,

BEP 22 suggests a procedure based on DNS to make a choice. Others are
possible. 

People have tried to solve the important problem of "locating a
server/service" in previous/current WGs with wide different levels of
success such as SLPv1/v2, Zeroconf, DNS, DHCP, etc.

DNS is usually what is featured on SIP/SIPPING/BEHAVE documents to discover
SIP/STUN servers. 

Thanks,

Reinaldo
