Discover services in network using UDP multicasts:

• Server sends UDP multicast periodically (once per 4 seconds or so).

• Clients listens for these - server’s address is IP from which the multicast was received.

Multicast content:

• Port number of the listening TCP/TLS socket and transport.

• IO network names which reply to multicast (first network name to be used, if client doesn’t know it’s network name).

• Time stamp

• Random number
