  Yeah, general discovery.  From the top of my head:
- Pulseaudio sinks and sources
- libvirt instances for virt-manager
- VNC desktops for Vinagre
- local web pages (think SOHO router config page) for zeroconf
  enabled Webbrowsers like Epiphany
- remote disk management (udisks)
- local FTP sites and WebDAV shares shown in nautilus places

  And this is all blocked by default Fedora firewall settings (5353/udp).
