Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast
|
|
|
|
|
DNS specifications for Zeroconf Computing. It uses D-BUS for
|
|
|
|
|
communication between user applications and a system daemon. The
|
|
|
|
|
daemon is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies,
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to minimize the traffic imposed on networks. This kind of
|
|
|
|
|
technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous
|
|
|
|
|
Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
