Howl is a cross-platform implementation of the Zeroconf networking standard.
Branded as Rendezvous tm by Apple Computer, Inc., Zeroconf standardizes
networking protocols for delivering hassle-free ad-hoc networking, service
discovery, and IP configuration.
Howl version 0.6 contains both runtime components, which deliver the
Zeroconf/Rendezvous functionality, and an SDK for embedding Zeroconf/Rendezvous
functionality in your applications.
