Editor to share with you what software bonjour refers to. I hope you will get something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

Bonjour is a trademark used in the server search protocol introduced by Apple after the version 10.2 of its operating system Mac OS X10.2. For LAN, Bonjour uses multicast domain name system service records to locate various devices, such as printers or other computers, as well as services on other devices.

Bonjour, formerly known as Rendezvous, is a trademark used in the server search protocol introduced by Apple after the version 10.2 of its operating system Mac OS X10.2. Suitable for LAN, Bonjour uses multicast domain name system service records to locate various devices, such as printers or other computers, as well as services on other devices.

"Bonjour" is French, meaning "Hello" or "good day". It consists of "bon" and "jour".

Bonjour is a main way to find services in LAN (Local area Network). This technology is widely used in Mac OS X and allows users to create a network connection without having to set up any settings. Currently used to find printers and file sharing servers on Mac OS X and other operating systems. It can also be used to find shared music in iTunes, to find shared photos in iPhoto, to find other users in the local network in iChat,Proteus,Adium,Fire,Skype and Gizmo Project, to find video recorders on TiVo desktops, to find file collaboration in SubEthaEdit and E, and to find and share contacts, tasks and activity messages in Contactizer. In addition, it can be used to find the setting pages of local network servers and local devices in Safari, use Asterisk to promote telephone services, set parameters VoIP phones and dialing. Bonjour Browser can be used to browse all devices and the services of these programs.

Without special DNS settings, Bonjour can only run on a single subnet.

Some people have some misunderstandings about Bonjour, thinking that it will turn some services of personal computers (such as file sharing) into public Internet services, causing a security crisis. In fact, Bonjour does not provide other additional access services, even on a local area network (LAN); it rarely claims ("promotes") their existence. For example, a user can browse a list of shared files on nearby computers-the Bonjour on these computers has told the user that the service is available, but he must provide a further password to access the confidential files on those machines. Moreover, Bonjour only works in a closed range, and by default, its information can only be transmitted to other users on the same subnet.

Naming

When Bonjour was released as part of Mac OS X v10.2 in August 2002, its original name was "Rendezvous", which means "date" in French. On August 27th, 2003, TIBCO Software claimed that the name was their registered trademark [1] TIBCO Software has had a commercial software integration product called TIBCO Rendezvous since 1994, and the company said it tried to discuss the matter with Apple but to no avail. In July 2004, Apple and Tibco announced a settlement. [2] there had been widespread rumors that the new name might be OpenTalk, but it was not adopted (probably because of things like LocalTalk and PowerTalk). On April 12, 2005, Apple announced that Rendezvous was renamed Bonjour, which is still a French word.
