   Avahi is the name of an open-source software suite that implements the   
   “Zeroconf” protocol suite .   
   Zeroconf was created several decades ago by an Apple engineer named Stuart   
   Cheshire, as a way to make TCP/IP behave more like the AppleTalk of yore,   
   where you could just plug new machines into your LAN and turn them on, and   
   they would Just Work™, with Zero Configuration™ (see what I did there?).
