KDE.News interviews Jakub Stachowski the man behind Zeroconf for KDE. "Zeroconf is a name used by IETF for several techniques that should allow you to setup and use a simple network with no need for any manual configuration. One of its parts, DNS-SD, is the service discovery protocol based on standard DNS. Rendezvous is just Apple's name for Zeroconf, this has recently been changed to Bonjour after a trademark dispute. It is trademarked so you will not find it anywhere in KDE code or documentation. SLP is another service discovery protocol used primarily by Novell. It has nothing to do with DNS-SD or Zeroconf."
