Abstract
A method for an intelligent multicast proxy between containers and an outside network includes receiving, at a proxy, a multicast discovery message from a container of one or more containers running on a host OS of a server. The proxy is running on the host OS and the server is connected to computing devices over a subnet network. The method includes adding a container tag to a user defined field of the multicast discovery message and relaying the multicast discovery message with the container tag to two or more of the computing devices connected to the subnet network. The method includes receiving a response to the multicast discovery message, where the response includes the container tag, and relaying the response to the container based on the container tag.
