Abstract
A system is provided comprising a first bridging device associated with a first internet protocol (IP) address having a radio transceiver receiving simple service discovery protocol (SSDP) messages from devices on a first media local area network (LAN), encapsulates and transmits the messages to a second address. The system also comprises a server associated with the second address receiving the messages from the first bridging device. Based on the messages, the server constructs a list of the devices on the first network. Based on a rule, the server forwards at least some of the messages received from the first bridging device to a third address. The system also comprises a second bridging device associated with the third address with a transceiver that receives the messages forwarded to the third address, decapsulates the simple service discovery messages, and wirelessly broadcasts the messages to devices on a second media local area network.
