+\subsubsection{DNS-Based Service Discovery}\label{sec:dnssd}
+
+As a recent extension for the Domain Name System, \term{DNS-Based Service
+Discovery (DNS-SD)}~\cite{rfc6763} uses DNS records of type
+\code{SRV}~\cite{rfc2782} and \code{PTR} in a way that allows hosts to browse
+for services in a domain. As an example, Figure~\ref{fig:dnssd} shows the
+process of browsing for all XMPP clients in the domain \code{example.org}.
+This is a two-step process, consisting of \term{Service Instance Enumeration}
+and \term{Service Instance Resolution}.
+
+\begin{figure}[htop]
+  \centering
+  \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{dnssd-mock.jpg}
+  \caption{DNS-SD: Service Instance Enumeration and Resolution}
+  \label{fig:dnssd}
+\end{figure}
+
+\paragraph{Service Instance Enumeration} At first, to enumerate the available
+services in a domain for a given protocol, a DNS-SD-enabled client queries
+resources of type \code{PTR} of the form \code{\_service.\_proto.domain}. The
+result of this query is then a list of \term{instance names} of the form
+\code{name.\_service.\_proto.domain} which provide the specified service. For
+example, in Figure~\ref{fig:dnssd}, all XMPP clients in the domain
+\code{example.org} are enumerated, and as a result, the instance names of three
+hosts are returned.
+
+\paragraph{Service Instance Resolution} As a second step, the returned instance
+names are resolved as \code{SRV} records to retrieve the actual host names and
+port numbers of a service. In the example, resolution of one instance name shows
+that an XMPP client is running at host \code{juliet.example.org} on port 5222.
+
+Through the usage of \code{SRV} records, it is easily possible for a service to
+inform clients about non-standard port numbers, and especially in connection
+with Multicast DNS makes it easy to deploy decentralized systems for the
+Internet of Things~\cite{Klauck:2012:BCC:2352852.2352881}.

 \subsubsection{Communication primitives}
 

+All communication over XMPP is based on XML. To minimize communication overhead,
+only fragments of XML, called \term{stanzas}, are sent between hosts. A stanza
+is always well-formed as a whole; it consist of a root element, which also
+includes routing attributes (\code{to} and \code{from}), and its optional child
+elements.
+
+On top of that, living connections between hosts are represented by \term{XML
+streams}. The client initiates a connection by sending an XML declaration
+followed by an opening \code{<stream>} tag. The server then responds also with
+an opening \code{<stream>} tag. The client then performs SASL authentication and
+binds its stream to a resource for proper addressing. If this process succeeded,
+both client and server can send an unlimited number of stanzas, until the
+connection is closed by one side by sending an closing \code{</stream>} tag. The
+other side then has the chance to send all outstanding stanzas and likewise
+closes its stream. If both streams are closed, the underlying TCP connection is
+terminated.
