About This Session
If you have an electric lamp, you can plug it anywhere in electric socket and it is expected to work. Could we think the same way for computers? Could we connect our laptop to any Network and make use of the devices available on that network including printer, scanner etc. The answer is YES, we can do it with help of Zero Configuration networking. Zero Configuration networking is a set of protocols which are used together to make devices talk to each other on the same Network, without any DHCP or DNS server. This is has numerous applications including Wake-on-Lan services. In 1980’s, AppleTalk was handling this scenario for Macs which are connected together with LocalTalk cabling. Later on, it was extended to AppleTalk over Ethernet. Currently we have several implementations of Zero Configuration Networking including Apple’s Bonjour, Windows LLMNR, Avahi, Presto etc.Time: 11:15 AM Sunday Room: Shoot The Breeze
