Abstract: Example implementations relate to a method for reconfiguring a network based on network traffic comparison. The first network supports multicast Domain Name Service (mDNS) query with multicast query-response messages. The method includes determining a client type for each client device and a first average packet count for each client type in a first network. The method includes receiving a second average packet count for each corresponding client type from a second network. The second network supports mDNS query with unicast query-response messages. A difference between the first average packet counts and the second average packet counts for corresponding client types is computed. The first network is reconfigured to respond to mDNS query with unicast query-response messages when the difference computed for at least one client type in the first network and each corresponding client type in the second network is above a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide network service discovery in a network. Examples herein include receiving, from a network device in the network, a set of records corresponding to a set of service advertisements indicative of capabilities of services hosted by respective host devices connected to the network device. Examples herein include determining, a set of neighbor network devices corresponding to the network device, based on radio frequency (RF) data in the network and a predefined set of policies associated with each of the set of records. Examples herein further include sending the set of records to the set of the neighbor network devices, where each of the set of neighbor network devices is to serve service discovery requests based on the set of records.
