>From Apple's web site... <http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/rendezvous/> Rendezvous Rendezvous is a revolutionary networking technology that lets you create an instant network of computers and devices without any configuration, allows the services and capabilities such as file sharing and printing of each device to be registered on the network, and allows these services to be dynamically discoverable by other devices on the network. Rendezvous enables this seamless networking and service discovery over the standard and ubiquitous IP networking protocol. On Jaguar systems the main components of Rendezvous are: * link-local addressing which is established as part of a systems IP configuration * Service Registration is done by the client that is registering service (ex: file server, printer, iChat user) * Service Discovery is handled by the client application that browses the network looking for services (ex: printing, iChat) For more information, see the Rendezvous Developer Support page. Source Code If you have registered with this site, you can download the source code components of Rendezvous: * Multicast DNS Responder (mDNSResponder), the component that listens for and responds to DNS-format query packets, sent via IP Multicast to UDP port 5353. * IP configuration (the bootp project, which also handles DHCP and link-local addressing) * The lower level C APIs to allow servers and clients to communicate with the mdns subproject of Libinfo CVS users can check out the mDNSResponder module from CVS to get the latest Rendezvous code. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
