Dynamic
Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses [IPv4LL]
This document describes how a host can automatically configure an interface with an IPv4 address
within the 169.254/16 prefix that is valid for communication with other devices connected to the
same physical link.
Multicast
DNS [mDNS]
This document discusses what needs to happen if DNS clients
start sending DNS queries to a multicast address, and how
a collection of hosts can cooperate
to collectively answer those queries in a useful manner.
DNS-Based
Service Discovery [DNS-SD]
This document describes a convention for naming and structuring
DNS resource records. Given a type of service that a client
is looking for, and a domain
in which the client is looking for that service, this convention allows
clients to discover a list of named instances of that desired
service, using only
standard DNS queries.
Bonjour Printing Specification
(PDF)
This document explains what printer vendors must do in order
to create Bonjour compatible printers that work seamlessly
with Mac OS X and with Windows machines
running Bonjour for Windows.
DNS Long-Lived
Queries [DNS-LLQ]
This document proposes a method of extending unicast DNS
to support long-lived queries, allowing clients to learn
about changes to DNS data.
Dynamic
DNS Update Leases [DNS-UL]
This document proposes a method of extending Dynamic DNS
Update to contain a resource record lease-life, thus allowing
a server to garbage collect stale
records.
NAT
Port Mapping Protocol [NAT-PMP]
This document describes a protocol for automating the process
of creating Network Address Translation (NAT) port mappings.
Included in the protocol
is a method for retrieving the public IP address of a NAT device, thus
allowing a client to make this public IP address and public
port number known to peers
that may wish to communicate with it.
