Subject: Questions about Name Resolution Server

Hi,

I was reading about EPICSv4 architecture (http://epics-pvdata.sourceforge.net/arch.html) and I found that the default name resolution method is UDP broadcast prior to connection. Is this a scalable way to find channel endpoints? By my understanding broadcasting should saturate the network with useless packets.

Moreover the document says that the Name Resolution Server is not used very often and is only currently implemented for EPICSv3. Why does this happens?

Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards
