A Simple Service Discovery and Configuration Protocol(SSDCP) is useful for IP-based embedded devices,because they are passive devices,it is difficult to communicate with them for a host not knowing their IP.SSDCP proposes a simple protocol of how to discover and configure these devices based on UDP broadcasting,and makes it possible to communicate between host computer and target devices who do not know peer's IP,even they are belong to different subnets.SSDCP is an application layer protocol.Its procedure is something like DHCP,but it allows a post started server to scan and reconfigure clients.Based on SSDCP,some higher level protocol can be realized,such as Local DNS.Its simple structure and code tight are appropriate to embedded devices.
