This module allows and Apache 2.0 web server to register its services on a
|
|
Zero Configuration network.
|
|
|
|
Zeroconf <http://www.zeroconf.org/> is a working group of the IETF. The
|
|
charter of this working group is to have computers network using TCP/IP
|
|
without prior configuration: no address servers or name servers are needed.
|
|
Zeroconf consists of the following protocols:
|
|
|
|
* Link-local IP addressing, where hosts pick a random address in the
|
|
169.254/16 range.
|
|
* Multicast DNS or mDNS, where every host runs its own DNS responder that
|
|
listens on port 5353 and communicates over multicast UDP/IP address
|
|
224.0.0.251 (IPv6 equivalent ff02::fb). All hosts are collectively
|
|
authorative for the .local. domain.
|
|
* DNS Service Discovery or DNS-SD allows hosts and their user to register and
|
|
browse services by a human-readable name.
|
|
|
|
mod_zeroconf relies on an external mDNS Responder and currently supports
|
|
net/howl.
