Title : Hybrid Unicast/Multicast DNS-Based Service Discovery

Abstract:
Performing DNS-Based Service Discovery using purely Multicast DNS
allows discovery only of services present on the local link. Using a
very large local link with thousands of hosts improves service
discovery, but at the cost of large amounts of multicast traffic.
Performing DNS-Based Service Discovery using purely Unicast DNS is
more efficient, but requires configuration of DNS Update keys on the
devices offering the services, which can be onerous for simple
devices like printers and network cameras.
Hence a compromise is needed, that provides easy service discovery
without requiring either large amounts of multicast traffic or
onerous configuration.
