Bounjour is a technology to advertise and locate services, not to 
implement a
service itself.

Think of a Bonjour service announcement as something like this:

  "Hey Macs in my group, I supply a service named funnyService 
running at port 2334"

Bounjour manages the task of pushing the advertisement through the 
network
and generating notifications on the target systems regarding the 
announcement.

Thus, you won't find details regarding implementing the actual 2334 
port service
in Apple's Bonjour documentation.

Please see the examples in the 'Developer' directory of your OS X 
installation.
I don't know the exact name, but there should be an example project.
