		Given that zeroconf protocols may be deployed on existing configured networks, care must be taken in their design to ensure minimum disruption to existing networks and applications.
		Zeroconf protocols must be able to resolve conflicts and return the network to a consistent state after changes in network topology or other events.
		Zeroconf security mechanisms must at a minimum be able to distinguish between messages originating from a device "inside" the group or a device "outside" the group.

	Zeroconf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Zeroconf or Zero Configuration Networking is a set of techniques that automatically create a usable IP network without configuration or special servers.
		Without Zeroconf or something similar, a knowledgeable user must either set up special servers, like DHCP and DNS, or set up each computer's network settings by hand, which is a tedious task, and is challenging for non-technical people.
		Zeroconf was pioneered by Apple Computer employee Stuart Cheshire in the company's move from AppleTalk to IP.

	Upsilon Pi Epsilon » Zeroconf
		Zeroconf defines a protocol analogous to a decentralized, server-less DHCP service.
		With Zeroconf, if no IP configuration information is availible the connecting device randomly chooses an IP address in the range from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255, which is reserved for link-local communication.
		NAT or a similar routing scheme would typically be used in addition to Zeroconf to fix this problem.

	Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf)
		The IETF Zeroconf Working Group was chartered September 1999 and held its first official meeting at the 46th IETF in Washington, D.C., in November 1999.
		Zeroconf is not limited to networks with just two hosts, but as we scale up our technologies to larger networks, we always have to be sure we haven't forgotten the two-devices (and no DHCP server) case.
		Zeroconf Host Profile (draft-ietf-zeroconf-host-prof-01.txt) outlines which protocols are available that could meet the requirements specified in the requirements document.

	Linux.com \| Zero Configuration Networking with Linux
		Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf) is a standard method of establishing communications between computers and allowing them to advertise and access each others' resources.
		Zeroconf is generally intended for use with small ad-hoc networks such as those typically found in a home environment.
		With Zeroconf, users should be able to plug two computers together with a crossover cable and instantly be able to access services hosted by one computer on the other, and vice versa.

		There are also external applications supporting Zeroconf such as Mateedit, a multi-user text editor that allows concurrent editing of one file by several people at once.

	Zeroconf and Python
		Zeroconf (also previously called Rendezvous) is a protocol for discovering services available on the local network.
		Zeroconf is used in Apple's Mac OS X for discovering printers and HTTP servers, and Apple has made their implementation freely available.
		Zeroconf is small enough to be implementable from scratch; PyZeroconf is a pure Python implementation by Paul Scott Murphy, and is about 1500 lines of code.

		Apple is 100% behind Zeroconf (unsurprisingly); an implementation of most of the specification appeared with the 10.2 (Jaguar) release of their operating system.
		The younger Zeroconf camp is equally barren of gizmos; Apple, however, has wrung out a couple of press releases from the likes of HP, Lexmark, Epson, and Xerox stating intent to include Zeroconf support.

	Zeroconf Networking
		Zeroconf networking is an emerging field of work from the Internet Engineering Task Force, providing IP level networking without needing a network administrator.
		The starting point for Zeroconf networking is to take two hosts with ethernet ports, and a cross-over cable, and have them communicate without needing to manually configure network addresses (or have one of them run an DHCP server).
		This paper includes discussion of the zcip tool, which uses standard Linux interfaces to establish IP addresses for a group of hosts that are on the same network ("link local", traffic with Zeroconf source or destination addresses is never routed), which is available on kernel.org (and mirrors).

		Zeroconf's authors achieved this goal simply by expanding the usage of existing protocols, so that the changes needed to implement Zeroconf should be minor.
		The second and last part gathers together network traffic analyses, a Zeroconf programming example, as well as a description of the enhancement attempt, whose source code is available in the appendices.
		They show how Zeroconf is a great example of a powerful and useful technology, simply built by re-using existing standard protocols, in an ingenious way and, even more important, without breaking compatibility.

		Zeroconf protocols must not cause harm to the network when a zeroconf machine is plugged into a large network.
		The long-term goal of zeroconf is to enable the creation of entirely new kinds of networked products, products that today would simply not be commercially viable because of the inconvenience and support costs involved in setting up, configuring, and maintaining a network to allow them to operate.
		There is a zeroconf implementers mailing list available for any discussion of zeroconf integration issues.

	Sandy McArthur: Zeroconf
		Zeroconf is the working group of the IETF for Zero Configuration Networking.
		I'll let you read the website for the details but the short description is that Zeroconf is how devices on an IP network can auto-configure themselves and find each other without the typical infrastructure.
		There are a few parts to zeroconf but I'm most interested in mDNS and DNS-SD.

		My colleague Bill is back with a set of patches to Grid Engine that enable Zeroconf SGE behavior (grid engine service autodiscovery, no DNS or host files needed!).
		The answer is largely because our hardware and software have no inherent “awareness” of other devices and services on the network, and require considerable manual effort to configure and maintain.
		Zeroconf, an open protocol embraced and branded as “Rendezvous” by Apple Computer, promises to solve this problem.

	Zeroconf
		Zeroconf is a lightweight, fairly simple set of cross-platform protocols that can work on any system- Linux, Unix, Macintosh or Windows.
		Gnarly old network admins who are accustomed to keeping a tight grip on their realms tend to be resistant to the whole idea - why, it's as free-for-all as ad-hoc wireless networking or NetBIOS, with users running rampant and sharing everything and no one is in charge.
		Carla's article has quite a lot of dark humor in it: the title is "Run Zeroconf for Linux in a Snap", but the steps she outlines for that "Snap" are far from it.

		If you administer a big corporate network then Zeroconf isn't going to change you life--the best you can hope for is that the branch office on the other side of town will be able to add a printer to its LAN without you or one of your staff having to go and configure it.
		The Zeroconf Working Group has been working for over four years, and there is a danger that if the standards don't emerge very soon there will be such a proliferation of non-compatible equipment and protocols that using zeroconf becomes impractical.
		The biggest barrier to widespread zeroconf adoption, however, is probably human: most network managers will be very unwilling to let unskilled users take control of a branch office LAN.

		My approach was quite different: the Zeroconf and DHCP client state machines work in the same program (udhcpc), so the user gets the best IP address the fastest possible.
		I tried to touch dhcpc.c the least possible, concentrating all Zeroconf state machine in a new source file (zeroconf.c) that is not even compiled if Makefile is configured not to include Zeroconf.

	Zero Configuration Networking (zeroconf) Charter
		Zero configuration networking is required for environments where administration is impractical or impossible, such as in the home or small office, embedded systems 'plugged together' as in an automobile, or to allow impromptu networks as between the devices of strangers on a train.
		It is also possible that both modes (ZEROCONF and administered) may coexist on the same network; the modes may not be exclusive of each other.
		When ZEROCONF networks or hosts which are configured using ZEROCONF protocols are connected to the big 'I' internet, they should not automatically become vulnerable to new security threats.
