Bonjour is Apple's implementation of Zero Configuration Networking. By using Bonjour, devices can allocate addresses without a DHCP server, translate between names and IP addresses without a DNS server, and locate or advertise services without a directory server. Bonjour enhances the user experience by eliminating the need for users to configure IP settings.
