<dt>Network service discovery</dt>
<dd>The <a data-featureid="discovery">Network Service Discovery API</a> was to offer a lower-level approach to the establishment of multi-device operations, by providing integration with local network-based media renderers, such as those enabled by DLNA, UPnP, etc. This effort was discontinued out of privacy concerns and lack of interest from implementers. The current approach is to let the user agent handle network discovery under the hoods, as done in the <a data-featureid="secondscreen">Presentation API</a> and <a data-featureid="remote-playback">Remote Playback API</a>.</dd>
