Abstract
Systems and methods for enhanced device discovery to support multiple clients and high data bandwidth are disclosed herein. An example method includes a method for discovering networked devices on a network having a client application executing on a client device communicatively coupled to the networked devices, the method comprising: transmitting a first inquiry over the network; receiving a first list of devices corresponding to the first inquiry; transmitting a second inquiry over the network; receiving a second list of devices corresponding to the second inquiry; aggregating the first list and the second list to form an aggregate list, the aggregate list including a list of networked devices of interest; and, for at least one of the networked devices of interest, establishing a publisher/subscriber relationship between the at least one of the networked devices and the client application.
