I think it's just broadcast UDP.
It's just one "copy" but everyone on the subnet will get it
simultaneously; uninterested clients will just ignore it. If this is
something your app is doing constantly, it might be a little bad, but
if it's uncommon I wouldn't sweat it.

Hi
I'm reading up on Bonjour and was wondering how exactly clients of
a service receive data. Put another way, does Bonjour flood the
network with dozens of copies of a piece of information? (depending
on the number of connected clients) Or is it sort of a "you've got
mail" followed by a data fetch process?
Reason I ask is that I need to broadcast potentially multi-megabyte
clipboard data to other users of an application but only one or two
of those other users will actually need the data and I don't want
to choke the network with dozens of copies. Ideally, what I'd like
to happen is to send a change message with some context info to
other clients on the network and then have any interested clients
fetch the data. Is this sort of how Bonjour works?
Thanks for any help
Ken
