!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([zeroconf]) is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable [network] based on the [Internet Protocol Suite] ([TCP]/[IP]) when computers or [network] [peripherals|Network devices] are interconnected. [{$pagename}] does not require manual operator intervention or special [configuration] [servers]. Without [zeroconf], a network administrator must set up network services, such as [Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol] ([DHCP]) and [Domain Name System] ([DNS]), or configure each computer's network settings manually.

[{$pagename}] is built on three core technologies: 
* automatic assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices
* automatic distribution and resolution of computer hostnames
* automatic location of network services ([Discovery Mechanism])
