After measuring the discovery time in a large network (four workstations and two printers), in test no. 3, we reduce the size of the network and observe the change in the discovery time. We used two Linux workstations from the previous network and linked them by a crossover cable (Fig. 10). We observed that the discovery time in test 3 is greater than the time recorded in test 1. The additional time in test 3 may be attributed to the time needed to perform the Zeroconf initialization steps in a newly formed network, in order to fully operate and be able to discover services in the network (Table 7).
