# The net/avahi, port

## avahi-0.8p10 – framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery

## Description

    Avahi is a free, standards-compliant implementation of the Zeroconf
    protocols Multicast DNS and DNS-SD.

    It is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network.
    This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into a network and
    instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find
    printers to print to or find files being shared.  This kind of
    technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous,
    Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient.
