Yeah, its MC and not BC. So in theory if you want the headache you can enable 
MC across the subnets and have one cache domain. Not worth the headache IMHO, 
depending on link speed/clients.

Actually folks I think I answered my own question.  We are based on SOAP over 
UDP and that is multicast based.

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<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd837649%28v=WS.10%29.aspx>
 says (and packet traces prove) that the DIP is 239.255.255.0:3702

Why are we using multicast addresses for this then?

Jason
