avahi - multicast dns network service discovery library
- Description:
Avahi 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 MacOS X (branded 'Rendezvous',
'Bonjour' and sometimes 'Zeroconf') and is very convenient. Avahi is
mainly based on Lennart Poettering's flexmdns mDNS implementation for
Linux which has been discontinued in favour of Avahi.
