Abstract
A method for suppressing broadcast messages includes receiving a broadcast message from a client that requests configuration information from a configuration server. The method includes queueing the broadcast message in a request queue and then identifying an oldest message in a request queue. When no configuration server information is available, the method includes broadcasting the oldest message to a broadcast domain. The method includes intercepting one or more additional broadcast messages from one or more other clients and storing the additional broadcast messages in the request queue. The method includes receiving a reply to the oldest message and storing configuration server information extracted from the reply. The method includes converting the additional broadcast messages to unicast messages, and unicasting the unicast messages to the configuration server using the stored configuration server information.
