This protocol is a local network segment procotol, which is multicasted on udp/3072, and incoming on tcp/5357 on the 239.255.255.250/ff02::c multicast addresses. It DOES have security issues, but it is designed for use in a trusted environment inside a firewall. . Install only this if running Gnome desktop, or GVFS and not announcing well known File shares. See wsdd-server for working with Samba servers.
