Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to
a network automatically. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up services,
such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or
configure each computer's network settings manually, which may be difficult and time-
consuming.
Zeroconf is built on three core technologies:
- Assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices (link-local address
auto configuration)
- Automatic resolution and distribution of computer hostnames (multicast DNS)
- Automatic location of network services, such as printing devices through DNS service
discovery.
