Currently Rendezvous isn't used by much of anything except Jaguar. It is a 'new' protocol to allow devices to announce themselves (and find others) with out your intervention (kind of like what Bluetooth does, only oven existing networks) It is a rather hard thing to wrap one's mind around, until you see it in action. iChat is a great example, other people running iChat on 10.2 on your LAN automatically show up. You can IM them directly without using a central server because Rendezvous knows how to communicate to the different machines directly.
