message: It would be more accurate to describe .local as part of multicast DNS. Bonjour is not a protocol per se, but an implementation of a set of protocols including mDNS. -Ahruman 08:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Apple Bonjour Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: As I understand it,
Android doesn't resolve foo.local host names as part of the standard look-up provided to apps
so they don't work unless the app explicitly codes NSD, Network Service Discovery,
calls.
Given the number of people shown by Google to be struggling with this,
it would be good if someone knowledgeable summarised the state of mDNS on Android.

message: Is it really accurate to say "However, local has since been designated for use in link-local networking by "? As of 2020-12,  is shown as a PROPOSED STANDARD. If it was never actually accepted/ratified, technically it hasn't designated anything. AdamW (talk) 17:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
