Remoting server auto-discovery. Broadcast or not?

I have a client/server application that communicates with .Net remoting. I need my clients to be able to find the server(s) on the network without requiring client-side configuration. As far as I know, there is no support for discovery in remoting. I am prepared to implement a UDP solution where the clients will be able to find the ser...

UDP Broadcast on Multihomed Systems

I'm working on a project that discovers/configures remote devices using UDP broadcasts. These devices may not have IP addresses configured yet, at least no to match the network they are connected to. Currently we use a single sendto with a target address of 255.255.255.255. This works fine in most cases but on Vista machines with multipl...

On a Linux system with a wired and a wireless interface (e.g. 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x subnets) I want to send a UDP broadcast that goes out via ALL available interfaces (i.e. both through the wired and the wireless interface). Currently I sendto() to INADDR_BROADCAST, however it seems that the broadcast only is sent through one of t...

IP adresses of B Class: broadcast

Are the following IP adresses - 168.94.254.255 & 168.94.255.254 - used for broadcast, if they belong to B Class? (The adresses were randomly chosen). I suppose 168.94.255.255 would rather be a broadcast adress, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance! ...

I looked into the source of ipcal, but wasn't able to integrate it into...

UDP broadcast and unicast through the same socket?

I have a Linux application that opens a UDP socket and binds it to a port. I haven't had any problem sending unicast packets through the socket. I had occasion to send a broadcast packet, so I enabled SO_BROADCAST, which allowed the broadcast packets to pass, but then I noticed that the unicast packets were being broadcast as well. Is...

Send UDP broadcast (255.255.255.255) from specific adapter (e.g. 192.168.101.1) only; on Windows

Solution for Windows XP or higher. Preferably in C# or else in C++. We do not want to broadcast using a subnet directed broadcast (e.g. 192.168.101.255) since the device we are trying to contact is not responding to this. Instead, we want to be able to send UDP datagram with a destination of 255.255.255.255 from a specific NIC/IPAddress...
