{{cleanup|date=January 2021|reason=The Story Gets Lost Midway. Great tech story up to para 16 "In 2000,". I followed it as history and development of ZCN, but after para 16 the author changed and it turned into a feast of abbreviations, but never mentioned how they achieved the zero config solutions sch as Bonjoir etc.|nocat=true}}
'''Zero-configuration networking''' ('''zeroconf''') is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable [[computer network]] based on the [[Internet Protocol Suite]] (TCP/IP) when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up [[network service]]s, such as [[Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol]] (DHCP) and [[Domain Name System]] (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually.
