Hello.
I've been doing a bit of research, and it appears that Vista supports a
service discovery method called WS-Discovery. I found documentation for it
here: http://specs.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04/discovery/ws-discovery.pdf I
know next to nothing about it, but my impression so far is that it's MS's
attempt to replace Bonjour.
For the time being Zeroconf seems to be the best solution as it supports
cross-platform networking. Microsoft Windows has another protocol UPnP with
similar usage, but these help only on windows networks. MS wont be able to
replace Avahi (and Zeroconf) unless they provide an open method which is
better than Zeroconf and in that case I'm sure someone will make a linux lib
for it.
As far as Bonjour, I used O'Reilly's book for documentation:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bonjour/toc.html There is a pdf of chapter
seven as the sample chapter, which covers the C API, which was all I needed
to implement what I did.
Thanks for the book suggestion. Luckily a friend has it, so I'll get it from
her today. Any suggestions for some documentation on Avahi?
Thanks
Ishan
