Service Browser is a very powerful tool for discover the available Bonjour (Zeroconf) capable devices on your home or office local network. ABOUT BONJOUR Bonjour is Apple's implementation of Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and hostname resolution. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. Typical Bonjour services: • File sharing and Time Machine disk detection. • Printer sharing and AirPrint. • AirPlay audio (wireless speakers) and video streaming, screen mirroring (Apple TV). • iTunes Library sharing, pairing and remote controlling. • Home Sharing (iTunes, Apple TV), pairing and remote controlling. • Remote login to OSX computer (SSH, Telnet). • Screen sharing (VNC) and Apple Remote Desktop. • Optical disk sharing. • Apple AirPort family base station and status service. • Remote Apple Events. • Media streaming and controlling. CACHING iOS uses a cache of Multicast DNS records to prevent hosts from requesting information that has already been requested. For example, when one host requests, say, a list of LPR print spoolers, the list of printers comes back via multicast, so all local hosts see it. The next time a host needs a list of print spoolers, it already has the list in its cache and does not need to reissue the query. The Multicast DNS responder is responsible for maintaining the cache; application developers do not need to do anything to maintain it.
