Re: Query related to DNS-SD

Iam developing an DNS-SD application. Could you please
clarify on the following:

1) What should be the criteria to cache a Record -
Should we cache all Records that we see, or is it ok
to only cache the Records that we are currently
interested in ?

It's OK to only cache records for active queries, however, if you were to additionally cache all records, then it could potentially reduce network traffic, since the answer to a future query might already be in the cache, which eliminates the need for a service to respond again.




2) Is it legal to have more than one question in
question section  & their respective known answers in
the answer section of the same query packet ?

Yes, with mDNS-SD it's legal and it's recommended.



3) Is there any difference between a DNS-SD querier &
a mDNS client application - Is both one & the same ?

A DNS-SD querier can either use mDNS or uDNS.

Best Regards,
