Is there any way to easily do this?
If I could get a list of the local networks (not zones) in the
extended network, represented as "network numbers", I could easily
perform a DDP broadcast on each local network.
But i see no way to get this list. I can get a list of zones but
they do not map to local networks.
There is no API to obtain the network numbers that I'm aware of. If
you could hook into the RTMP listener, this would be possible since
the RTMP packets include a listing of the network numbers. However,
there is no API for hooking into the listener.
The question arises as to why you want to send your own AppleTalk
broadcast, instead of doing an NBPLookup?? Using a broadcast assumes
that there is some entity that is listening, that could just as well
have registered a specific name/type, which NBP Lookup can find.
