Bonjour

Share This

Bonjour is Apple’s implementation of zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) – a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and hostname resolution. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) and DNS-SD (DNS-based service discovery). It is used by a number of video and audio over IP systems.

Bonjour was invented by Apple but is freeware for anyone to use.
