Forum Topic - Bonjour (mdns) protocol support ?: (3 Items)
   
Bonjour (mdns) protocol support ?  
I have a prospect that needs to run Apple's Bonjour protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software)
and
http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/index.html
and
http://www.zeroconf.org/

aka zero-configuration networking

Has this been looked at at all - or do we believe that a port would be easy/hard ?

Thanks !

Dave
RE: Bonjour (mdns) protocol support ?  
Hi Dave:

There was some work done in looking at zeroconf, but we don't have a
complete solution. We do have autoip (RFC 3927) implemented as part of the
io-pkt protocol and it's also in io-net.  Multicast DNS and DNS Discovery
aren't there, though.  I don't have a feeling for how hard they'd be to port
over, but I suspect that AutoIP was the toughest part.  mDNS and DNS
Discovery should be possible to deal with outside of the stack as socket
based applications.


	Robert.

I have done Bonjour port a little while ago, nothing special, quite straight
forward build.
