I have no objection about adding those tags, except one question: is it better to consider them as separate protocols, or is it better to create only one tag that encompasses them all? My impression is that those three protocols are normally found together and so it could be useful to consider them as part of the same "protocol suite". In fact, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf also mentions mDNS and DNS-SD as the "Name Resolution" and "Service discovery" part of zeroconf. That would make it look feasible to have one protocol::zeroconf tag and describe it as including one or more of IPV4LL, mDNS and DNS-SD. I'm not a zeroconf expert though, so I'll accept your judgement. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[email protected]>
