Privacy Considerations for Protocols Relying on IP Broadcast or Multicast
2018
A number of application-layer protocols make use of IP broadcast or
multicast messages for functions such as local service discovery or
name resolution. Some of these functions can only be implemented
efficiently using such mechanisms. When using broadcast or multicast
messages, a passive observer in the same broadcast or multicast domain
can trivially record these messages and analyze their content.
Therefore, designers of protocols that make use of broadcast or
multicast messages need to take special care when designing their
protocols.
