I'm sure it is using Apple's Bonjour protocol which relies on
multicasting to work on the local network. We've discussed this
internally but have decided not to enable multicast on wireless yet.
For a deep dive, consider the following book:

I have a professor trying to use their iPod to remotely control their iPad in
the classroom. It works fine on a test Netgear wireless router I have for
testing. However it does not work on any of the WLANs I have configured for
campus use. Doing a little research, it appears that this application requires
multicast to be enabled? I currently do not have multicast enabled. Does
anyone have experience with this? Any solutions that don't require enabling
multicast?
Thank you.
