In such a case no local zeroconf services are available to Bonjour or any other zeroconf implementation. In September 2008, two security vulnerabilities were found in Bonjour for Windows. [11] Certain installations of Bonjour for Windows lack an uninstaller and do not display a human-readable entry in the Windows services listing. [12]
LLMNR is included in every Windows version from Windows Vista onwards [8] and acts as a side-by-side alternative for Microsoft's NetBIOS Name Service over IPv4 and as a replacement over IPv6, since NetBIOS is not available over IPv6. Apple's implementation is available as the Bonjour service since 2002 in Mac OS X v10.2.
The sleep proxy service is able to advertise any Bonjour-supported services, while the host computer sleeps. Some examples of supported services are: [4] File sharing: a host supporting the sleep proxy service, which offers file services, may go to sleep as needed. When someone needs to access shared files, the host will wake up automatically.
Avahi is a free zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) implementation, including a system for multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Avahi is a system which enables programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network.
Multicast DNS (mDNS) is a computer networking protocol that resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server.It is a zero-configuration service, using essentially the same programming interfaces, packet formats and operating semantics as unicast Domain Name System (DNS).

RFC 6762 was authored by Apple Inc. employees Stuart Cheshire and Marc Krochmal, and Apple's Bonjour zeroconf networking software implements mDNS. [3] That service will automatically resolve the private IP addresses of link-local Macintosh computers running macOS and mobile devices running iOS if .local is appended to their hostnames.
Apple's Bonjour for Windows and the open source Bonjour are two different things. The open source code provides what amounts to an example of how to build Bonjour services which can be included in services. The Bonjour for Windows code actually provides services and is not open source. --Steven Fisher 18:09:16, 2005-08-11 (UTC)
