The concept in some words
ZooDiscovery implements both ECF discovery intefaces: IDiscoveryAdvertiser and IDiscoveryLocator. That is, ZooDiscovery can publish our services and gets us noticed about discovered services. Perfect! But how? A ZooDiscovery instance running at your machine does its job by exchanging data with other ZooDiscovery instance(s) running elsewhere. So each ruuning ZooDiscovety service must know where that "elsewhere" exactly is. This we should first make our ZooDiscovery happy giving it an IP address to play with.
