摘要:Zero configuration networking may sound like an oxymoron to many who spend most of their time setting up and mending networks. But don't decide on a career change yet—although zero configuration networks exist and work, they don't work always and everywhere. In this article I describe the current state of the affairs in zero configuration IP networking, introduce Zeroconf, the suite of zero configuration IP protocols, and tell what they do and how they work. This article is only a brief introduction to zero configuration networking and Zeroconf, so if you are really interested in all the details, refer to the sources listed in the References section at the end of this article.
