A wide array of mechanisms have emerged from the IETF in recent years. Each of them potentially provides a network service or resource location information.  Each of these protocols provides a distinct service.  It would be quite useful to the Internet community if guidance could be provided, in the form of a BCP, which taxonomized and stated the applicability domain of these different protocols. This BOF will consider a number of different approaches to finding stuff on networks.  We will discuss whether it would be fruitful to develop a document which suggests where they fit.  This would involve developing both terminology and criteria for expressing what these protocols are suited for. It is possible that this BOF will result in sufficient interest to author such a BCP document.
