@CoolCat, bonami sounds like it would fit. (bon ami, in french is "good friend"). it is using bsdsocket.library as usual. it has even support for Amiga LAN sharing Envoy. avahi or bonjour or mdns all help to maintain a "network neighborhood".

Yes, it seems will be my choice. (I noticed something missing to support envoy). I don't know if it would fit aros core as a native feature.

you could port the amiga version (which is open source and on github) and put under comments the envoy part for first

I allready got it as a submodule for the midhub thing tm, but i mean for aros upstream, that May be considered alien as core os component
