The McLaren Synth Kit --- https://github.com/mclarenlabs/McLarenSynthKit --- now includes an RTP-MIDI engine that you can include in your own projects. The engine is the same one that is in our well-known rtpmidi product! We're providing the library so that you can set up RTP-MIDI connections as you like.

On Linux systems, Bonjour is implemented by the "Avahi" service. This is what McLaren Labs' rtpmidi program uses to find Apple MIDI services on your network when you set it up. Usually rtpmidi can find the iPhones and iPads on your network, but sometimes things do not go smoothly. That's when you need to do some network debugging. One of the tools that you can use to learn about Bonjour services on your network is avahi-browse.
