Modern windows supports mDNS these days!


It does! I generally assume mDNS to just be available on every device these days. But I've also seen managed environments where mDNS has been turned off or blocked at the firewall.


mDNS is a broadcast protocol so always "blocked at the firewall ".


Multicast too. If you've never needed to manipulate ACLs for multicast traffic, you're not really living.
