DNS-SD/Zeroconf

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

DNS Service Discovery based on 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.

Benefits and Features

• An easy to use C++ library, provides a common, unified API to Apple's Bonjour and Avahi.
• Quickly integrate Zeroconf functionality into existing C++ applications.
• Works with both Apple's Bonjour® implementation, as well as with Avahi on Linux.
