NSD equivalent in android API level <16

Question

As most of us know the android NSD (Network Service Discovery) framework has made networking very simple and easy in Local networks. However the android APIs for the NSD implementation start from API level 16 (Jelly Bean). I am concerned with LAN rather than the internet

So is there a simple way like the NSD in lower API levels (Gingerbread and ICS). More clearly speaking what's optimum way to implement network services in application for API level <16

I think so, you can use the socket apis from Java.net package — Allahjane, Mar 20 '13 at 14:20
