Security issue about WS-Discovery protocol
-

Question
How comes all servers on LAN broadcsat WS-Discovery Resolve message that ends up with total congestion?
The LAN is flooded with resolve messages from different servers to IPv4 multicast address.
The following is the message body
urn:uuid:704c7c3d-b73f-410d-88bc-68d5c5dd9219
How is it all about?
Edit: It's how it works. However the point is, why they never stop? What if a resolve fails?
Solution
Because using the WS-Discovery protocol clients send Resolve message by using UDP multicast to find out transport addresses for services. The UDP multicast is what you're seeing unless I'm missing something.
