!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] was a proprietary [network] [Protocol Suite] developed by [Apple] Inc. and included a number of features that allow [Local Area Networks] to be connected with no prior setup or the need for a centralized [router] or server of any sort.
Connected AppleTalk-equipped systems automatically assign addresses, update the distributed namespace, and configure any required inter-networking [routing].
[{$pagename}] was released in [1985|Year 1985], and was the primary [network] [Protocol Suite] used by [Apple] [devices] through the [1980s] and [1990s]. Versions were also released for the IBM PC and compatibles and the Apple IIGS. [{$pagename}] support was also available in most networked printers (especially laser printers), some file servers, and a number of [routers].
The rise of [TCP]/[IP] during the [1990s] led to a reimplementation of most of these types of support on that protocol, and [{$pagename}] became unsupported as of the release of Mac OS X v10.6 in [2009|Year 2009].
[{$pagename}]'s more advanced autoconfiguration features have since been introduced in [Bonjour], while [Universal Plug and Play] serves similar needs.
