This temporary registry of DNS SRV (RFC 2782) Service Names is now closed to new entries.
This temporary registry operated from 2003 to 2010, because during that time the IANA assignment procedures did not allow for registration of a service name without an associated port number.
The IANA assignment procedures have now been updated to allow registration of a service name without an associated port number. For more information see RFC 6335 "IANA Procedures for the Management of the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry".
If you already sent a Service Name registration request that does not appear in this list, it has been forwarded to IANA for inclusion in the new Unified Service Name and Port Number Registry. Please be patient while IANA processes the backlog and records these new entries.
If you have a new Service Name you wish to register, you can now do this directly through IANA. Note that (as of 30th August 2011) this is still the old IANA form. After you complete it IANA may email you requesting additional information. We expect to see this updated shortly with a new form requesting the new RFC 6335 information. Thank your for your patience during this transition.

guid Special service type for resolving by GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)
Defined TXT keys: Varies; Depends on type of service being offered/resolved
Although DNS-SD does not recommend or advocate using GUIDs as the primary name
of an offered service (why not?), it does support use of GUIDs as service names
where developers want to use them that way.
Typically users do not browse for GUIDs. They are not user-friendly and not very
informative. Typically, the service is advertised as usual, using a user-friendly
name. One of the TXT record attributes is a GUID for the service instance.
Once the user has browsed and chosen the desired service instance via its user-friendly
name, the service is resolved, the TXT record is retrieved, and the GUID is stored.
A given network service instance is therefore being advertised two ways, for example:
<User-Friendly-Name>._ptp._tcp.local
<GUID>._guid._tcp.local
On subsequent accesses to the service, the GUID-based name is resolved, and that
particular service instance is discovered, even if the user has subsequently
changed the user-friendly name to something else.
Note: Although each different logical service type needs to have its own different
DNS-SD service type, all GUID-based names use the same pseudo-type: "_guid._tcp".
There is no possibility of name conflict because (by definition) GUIDs are globally unique.

http World Wide Web HTML-over-HTTP
Tim Berners-Lee <timbl at W3.org>
Protocol description: RFC 2616
Defined TXT keys: u=<username> p=<password> path=<path to document>
(see txtrecords.html#http)
Known Subtypes: _printer
NOTE: The meaning of this service type, though called just "http", actually
denotes something more precise than just "any data transported using HTTP".
The DNS-SD service type "http" should only be used to advertise content that:
* is served over HTTP,
* can be displayed by "typical" web browser client software, and
* is intented primarily to be viewed by a human user.
Of course, the definition of "typical web browser" is subjective, and may
change over time, but for practical purposes the DNS-SD service type "http"
can be understood as meaning "human-readable HTML content served over HTTP".
In some cases other widely-supported content types may also be appropriate,
such as plain text over HTTP, or JPEG image over HTTP.
Content types not intented primarily for viewing by a human user, or not
widely-supported in web browsing clients, should not be advertised as
DNS-SD service type "http", even if they do happen to be transported over HTTP.
Such types should be advertised as their own logical service type with their
own DNS-SD service type, for example, XUL (XML User Interface Language)
transported over HTTP is advertised explicitly as DNS-SD service type "xul-http".
https HTTP over SSL/TLS
Tim Berners-Lee <timbl at W3.org>
Protocol description: RFC 2616
NOTE: Web browsers like Safari and Internet Explorer (with the Bonjour for Windows plugin)
DO NOT browse for DNS-SD service type "_https._tcp" in addition to browsing for "_http._tcp".
This is a conscious decision to reduce proliferation of service types, to help keep
DNS-SD efficient on the network. Today, if a user types http://www.mybank.com/ into their
web browser, the web server automatically redirects the user to https://www.mybank.com/.
Rather than having an entirely different DNS-SD service type for https, we recommend
using the same redirection mechanism: advertise a plain "http" service, which consists
of nothing except an HTTP redirection to the desired "https" URL.
Work is currently being done on adding mechanisms to HTTP and TLS to allow the server
to tell the client that it needs to activate TLS on the current connection before
proceeding. If this becomes widely adopted, it further justifies the decision to
not create a separate DNS-SD service type "_https._tcp", because security becomes
just another one of the things that is negotiated on a per-connection basis (like
content-type negotiation today) rather than being an entirely separate thing.

jini Jini Service Discovery
Daniel Steinberg <daniel at oreilly.com>
Protocol description: Convention giving a deterministic programmatic mapping
between Jini service interface names and subtypes of the DNS-SD service
meta-type "_jini._tcp". For example, a client wishing to discover objects
that implement the "com.oreilly.ExampleService" interface would broswse for
the DNS-SD service subtype "ExampleService.oreilly.com._sub._jini._tcp".
(Note: Using Apple's Bonjour programming API, service subtypes
like this are expressed as a comma-separated list following
main type, e.g. "_jini._tcp,ExampleService.oreilly.com".
This allows an object that implements several interfaces to specify
all of those interfaces in a list when it registers its service.
When browsing for services, at most a single subtype is allowed.)

XMPP Registrar <registrar at xmpp.org>
Protocol description: http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html
Defined TXT keys: See http://www.xmpp.org/registrar/linklocal.html
Note: Registration updated May 2007. Was formerly listed as "iChat AV" (Apple's IM client
for Mac OS X) with TXT keys: txtvers, port.p2pj, phsh, vc, 1st, AIM, msg, status, last
When first shipped in Mac OS X 10.2, iChat's peer-to-peer messaging protocol was
created to solve the problem of serverless messaging between peers on the same link.
However, there is nothing inherent in the protocol that limits it to being only link-local;
it was simply an artifact of iChat in Mac OS X 10.2 using link-local Multicast DNS to
discover peers. With the advent of Wide-Area DNS-SD, it is also possible to use iChat's
peer-to-peer messaging between machines on different links.

random-access reads into the file rather than having to fetch the entire thing.

Subtypes: The specific Web Services-based protocol being offered.
Note: Browsing for _ws._tcp as a generic service is useful only in development tools.
For any given application, it should browse for the specific semantic service (subtype
of _ws._tcp) it requires. Browsing for _ws._tcp would simply find all services that
happened to be built on top of Web Services technology, without regard for whether
the service they provide is at all relevant to what this application wants to do.
