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
