Abstract: | With the increasing popularity of wireless portable devices, such as laptops, PDAs and mobile phones, it is getting more and
more important for mobile users to discover their required resources (e.g. printers and fax machines) without any need of
configurations. To this end, automatic service discovery is an important feature of mobile Ad Hoc networks (Manets). In this
paper a service discovery protocol for Manets based on the IETF Service Location Protocol has been implemented in the NS-2
simulator. Its performance is studied under different mobility patterns, network sizes and number of service agents. A lightweight
quality of service (QoS) aware service discovery protocol is also proposed to support QoS applications.
