Avahi is a free, standards-compliant implementation of the Zeroconf
|
||
|
|
protocols Multicast DNS and DNS-SD.
|
||
|
|
It is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network.
|
||
|
|
This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into a network and
|
||
|
|
instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find
|
||
|
|
printers to print to or find files being shared. This kind of
|
||
|
|
technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous,
|
||
|
|
Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
