Actually folks I think I answered my own question. We are based on SOAP over UDP and that is multicast based. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] PeerDisc QQ Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:09:49 +0000
Hi folks OK, dumb query of the day My understanding is that BranchCache Distributed Mode is designed to work on a subnet by subnet basis. So, if we have a remote office with 2 subnets on it, 192,168.10.0 and 192.168.20.0 then we are guaranteed to have 2 cache domains (if that’s what they’re called) If that’s the case then I’d expect PeerDisc to pump out packets 255.255.255.255:3702 but it does not - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd837649(v=WS.10).aspx says (and packet traces prove) that the DIP is 239.255.255.0:3702 Why are we using multicast addresses for this then?
