Autoconfiguration for IP networking: enabling local communication
TLDR
The background, current status and future prospects for zero-configuration networking are examined in this tutorial.Abstract:
IP hosts and network infrastructure have historically been difficult to configure, but emerging networking protocols promise to enable hosts to establish IP networks without prior configuration or network services. Even very simple devices with few computing resources will be able to communicate via standard protocols wherever they are attached. Current IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standardization efforts, such as those in the Zeroconf Working Group, aim to make this form of networking simple and inexpensive. In this tutorial, I examine the background, current status and future prospects for zero-configuration networking.read more

Patent
Identity-based wireless device configuration
TL;DR: In this paper, a trusted system may be used to generate wireless configuration parameters for a wireless network based on identity information, which is stored on the trusted system remote to the wireless network and accessible to the user.
Design Challenges for an Integrated Disaster Management Communication and Information System
TL;DR: The requirements and innovative technology for an integrated disaster management communication and information system are sketched, addressing in particular network, configuration, scheduling and data management issues during the response and recovery phases.
Patent
Mobile computing and communication
TL;DR: In this article, a development platform exposes a carefully chosen core set of services through an API and each of the applications can broadcast its services to local and remote devices, which can be customized to the owner based on stored information that maps owners to devices.

Predictive methods for improved vehicular WiFi access
TL;DR: It is argued that people drive on familiar routes frequently, and thus the mobility and connectivity related information along their drives can be predicted with good accuracy using historical information - such as GPS tracks with timestamps, RF fingerprints, and link and network-layer addresses of visible APs.

Multi-channel pairing in a media system
Christopher Kallai,Michael Darrell Andrew Ericson,Robert A. Lambourne,Robert Reimann,Mark Triplett +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a technology for grouping, consolidating, and pairing individual playback devices with network capability (players) to stimulate a multi-channel listening environment is described, where two or more playback devices are paired, such that multichannel audio is achieved.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
TL;DR: Due to some errors introduced into RFC 1531 in the editorial process, this memo is reissued as RFC 1541.
Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers
TL;DR: This RFC is an official specification for the Internet community that incorporates by reference, amends, corrects, and supplements the primary protocol standards documents relating to hosts.
IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
S. Thomson,Thomas Narten +1 more
TL;DR: This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6.0, including creating a link-local address and verifying its uniqueness on a link, and determining what information should be autoconfigured.
Service Location Protocol, Version 2
TL;DR: The Service Location Protocol provides a scalable framework for the discovery and selection of network services for network based applications and is especially important as computers become more portable, and users less tolerant or able to fulfill the demands of network system administration.
Service Location Protocol
TL;DR: Using this protocol, computers using the Internet no longer need so much static configuration of network services for network based applications, which is especially important as computers become more portable, and users less tolerant or able to fulfill the demands of network system administration.
