It used to be that two laptops, sitting side by side, couldn't
communicate with each other; they may as well have been a thousand
miles apart. But that was then, before the advent of Zero
Configuration Networking technology. This amazing cross-platform
open source technology automatically connects electronic devices on
a network, allowing them to interoperate seamlessly-without any
user configuration. So now you don't have to lift a finger!
Needless to say, it has completely changed the way people connect
to devices and programs for printing, file sharing, and other
activities.
"Zero Configuration Networking: The Definitive Guide" walks you
through this groundbreaking network technology, with a complete
description of the protocols and ways to implement network-aware
applications and devices.
Written by two Zero Configuration Networking experts, including
one of Apple's own computer scientists, the book covers more than
just file sharing and printing. Zero Configuration Networking also
enables activities such as music and photo sharing and automatic
buddy discovery on Instant Messaging applications. In fact, Zero
Configuration Networking can be used for virtually any device that
can be controlled by a computer. And this handy guide has the
inside scoop on all of its capabilities-and how you can easily
apply them in your own environment.
For the technically advanced, "Zero Configuration Networking:
The Definitive Guide" examines the three core technologies that
make up Zero Configuration Networking: Link-Local Addressing,
Multicast DNS, and DNS Service Discovery. It also reviews a series
of APIs, including C-API, Java API, CFNetServices, and Cocoa's
NSNetServices.
Whether you want to understand how iTunes works, or you want to
network a series of laptops and other devices at your office for
maximum efficiency, you'll find all the answers in this
authoritative guide.
