Zeroconf

Zeroconf, short for Zero-Configuration Networking, is a technology that allows devices on the same local network to discover and communicate with each other automatically without needing manual setup or complex configuration. It simplifies networking by enabling devices like printers, speakers, or computers to identify and connect to each other seamlessly, using protocols that handle address assignment and service discovery. Essentially, Zeroconf makes it easy for devices to work together out of the box, streamlining device setup and improving user experience in home or small office networks.
