Can WICED Discover Devices Dynamically?

I am working on a project that is attempting to incorporate the IoTivity-constrained library into WICED WiFi.

Due to WICED using it's own primitives, I am having trouble figuring out exactly how to do this.

While digging through the WICED sample code, I found several references to Multicast, but there are no tutorials on how to use these functions.

Can a WICED board connected to an AP as a Client use Multicast functions to discovery other WICED boards connected to the same AP as Servers, without knowing their IP Addresses beforehand, i.e. Dynamic Discovery?

If this is possible, how is it done?

You can check out the snip.ssdp example and check if that serves as a guide for your application

Hi,

please provide us more details(what types of packets for multicast).

Also, why would you not use ARP?
