Zeroconf

Automatic discovery of network services and network devices, based on Multicast DNS (mDNS) technology.

Zeroconf (Zero configuration networking) technology enables the automatic discovery of network devices and services in a TCP/IP network. Zeroconf is a mature technology, already supported by most network-capable printers and cameras, media servers, as well as many applications.

Applied Informatics provides an implementation of Zeroconf either based on Apple's Open Source implementation of Zeroconf known as Bonjour®, or Avahi, another Open Source implementation popular on Linux. Both implementations are fully interface compatible.

Benefits and Features

• quickly integrate Zeroconf functionality into existing C++ applications
• works with both Apple's Bonjour® implementation, as well as with Avahi on Linux
• based on Multicast DNS (mDNS) technology
