What should happen when two devices on the network both use the same service name?
In the rare case where a name collision occurs, your device should add a digit to the end of the name, for example: “Apple Mac mini (2)” Applications and devices that call Bonjour APIs like DNSServiceRegister and CFNetServiceRegisterWithOptions will automatically get this name changing behavior when name conflicts occur. For devices that have a screen and are capable of user input, instead of appending a number, you could optionally decide to prompt the user for a more unique name.
