One of the key
components of the Jini platform itself is called Discovery, the software that
addresses the issue of how devices and software register with the network.
When you plug a Jini-enabled device into the network, it drops a Discovery
packet onto the network that enables it to be identified by the Jini Lookup
service. The Discovery packet enables Jini services to find and join a Jini
community, advertise their capabilities to the community of users, find and
retrieve any needed software, and work with any device.
