  Bonjour (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonjour, formerly Rendezvous, is Apple's trade name for its implementation of the Zeroconf specification framework, a computer network technology used in Apple's Mac OS X from version 10.2 onwards.
Bonjour was formerly named Rendezvous prior to the release of Mac OS X v10.4, but the name was changed due to a 2004 trademark settlement between Apple and Tibco Software Inc.
Apple has made the source code of the Bonjour multicast DNS responder, the core component of service discovery, available as a Darwin open source project.

 Apple's Rendezvous: What it is and why it matters
Rendezvous, by contrast, doesn't need a server; if there's no DHCP server to be found, machines assign themselves non-conflicting IP addresses and get on with it.
While Rendezvous is, indeed, an Apple trademark, its technology is known in network engineering circles as Zeroconf.
Apple provides developer information of its own because Rendezvous is part of the just-released 10.2 version of Mac OS X, but that certainly doesn't mean that there's anything Mac-specific about it.
