If you're familiar with Windows network discovery, it works like that. It will
show the device, and you could get information about it, or just double click
the device and it would open the admin webpage.

So, in my workplace, I admin a network with many printers and MFP's on the
network.

It was nice to be able to go to network:/, and see all network printers, expand
their listing (which displayed the services they offered, including the admin
web interface), launch that web interface link and have it open in the browser.

network:/ used to give you mostly the same info/links that were presented by
running "avahi-browse -rat".
