ABSTRACT:
A network device discovery system includes a computing system configured to broadcast a device discovery datagram packet to a network such that the device discovery datagram packet is encoded with data identifying at least one device discovered on the network, wherein if a time period from the broadcast of the device discovery datagram packet exceeds a predetermined threshold and a quantity of device discovery datagram packets broadcast to the network exceeds a predetermined threshold, the computing system is configured to discontinue broadcast of device discovery datagram packets to the network.
