Rendezvous
会合是ZeroConf （零配置网络）的苹果电脑版本，使一个IP网络上的设备能够自动识别并与网络上的其他设备连接的一组协议。对最终用户来说，这意味着俄昂一个新设备（例如打印机）连接到一个网络的时候，网络上的每一台计算机都可以立即使用，而永不着任何的设置或者特殊的配置。局部连接地址(LLA)和多点传送域名服务器(mDNS)中，会合都使用IETF(internet工程任务组)标准。mDNS 允许新设备登广告保表明它的存在和它提供的服务。局部连接地址（LLA）到处寻找并和子网络上的其他设备协商，为新设备挑选一个合适的IP地址。因为会合和通用即插即用(UPnP)都是基于LLA，一个单独的设备可以实现两个协议。 开发者可以在苹果公共源代码授权内下载会合。为了达到会合适应性，一个设备必须能够不用要求东台主机配置协议服务器就分配IP地址，能够不用DNS服务器就在名字和IP地址间转化，并且不用目录服务期就能够定位服务或者为服务做广告。会合是苹果广泛源代码初始化的一部分，苹果广泛源代码初始化包括Darwin 6.0.1操作系统和目录插件程序。

All across the sky
The mysteries of faith
Fossils of desire all assume their rightful place
Is there any danger in their fire
Is there any solace in their wake
Could it really make a world of difference for goodness' sake
Train rolls a cappella
To a sympathetic moon
Cross Christopher
Carrying the stories of every heart - earned wound
Will there be a lover at the station
Will there be a last conductor's call
Will there really be a happy ending after all
To the rendezvous
Fortunes to be told
To the rendezvous
Wonders to behold
Onto a place where we can find
Maybe a trace of peace of mind
To the rendezvous all in good time
Painting the horizon
A mast beyond the blue
Could there be a mutiny in the making
Could it be a lorelei in song
Is it just a ghost that's been forgiven all along
Will there be a jewel beneath the boulder
Will there be a pride beyond the fall
Will there really be a happy ending after all
Will there be a pride beyond the fall
Will there really be a happy ending after all
To the rendezvous
Fortunes to be told
To the rendezvous
Wonders to behold
Onto a place where people find
Maybe a trace of peace of mind
To the rendezvous all in good time
