Actually, that was my questions too. I am not sure if all broadcast are
based on udp instead of TCP, like all multicast are based on udp to avoice
unnecessary retransmission. Maybe broadcast is the same case. Is my
understanding correct?
Cisco has a "ip forward-protocol dns", is it true that it is designed for
diskless workstation, say the DNS server ip add is not configured and need
broadcast dns query request? I think normally DNS ip address is already
pre-configured, so the DNS query should be a unicast instead of broadcast.
