Miracast is a screen/audio.streamung service, DLNA is a media "director" and Dial is similar to Chromecast. The service is used to stream audio and video from your devices to TVs.

Plan9 file servers?!

P9RdrService_10a234 is part of the Windows subsystem for Linux. P9 server is a part of the WSL install so that it can communicate with a Linux filesystem and this service originates from it.
