Abstract:
A number of application-layer protocols make use of IP broadcasts or
multicast messages for functions such as local service discovery or
name resolution. Some of these functions can only be implemented
efficiently using such mechanisms. When using broadcasts or
multicast messages, a passive observer in the same broadcast domain
can trivially record these messages and analyze their content.
Therefore, broadcast/multicast protocol designers need to take
special care when designing their protocols.
