Title
Proxy support for service discovery using mDNS/DNS-SD in low power networks
Abstract
We present a solution for service discovery of resource constrained devices based on mDNS/DNS-SD. We extend the mDNS/DNS-SD service discovery protocol with support for proxy servers. Proxy servers temporarily store information about services offered on resource constrained devices and respond on their behalf while they are not available. We analyze two protocols for the delegation mechanism between a service provider and a proxy server: an active proxy protocol, as used in the mDNS/DNS-SD implementation by Apple, and a new, passive proxy protocol. We implement and simulate both approaches. Based on the delay and energy usage, we show that the second approach converges faster, thus saving more energy by allowing the resource constrained device to be turned off earlier.
