max devices per service name?

[juni0604]

I use a good app well.

I have some questions.

While looking at the NSD code, I thought I could implement "several channel" by separating the service name.

service type = "xxxx ._tcp" service name = "channel_00,01,02,03...."

1. Is classification by service name only logical?

2. How are the maximum terminals in a service? -> Can I think of the total number of IPs available on a WIFI AP?

Thank you for feedback.

1. Yes, that was an idea from the beginning to announce a channel name as a part of th NSD service name and manage channels in the app. This work just not done yet.
2. All services in the NSD supposed to have uniq names, so it will be only one device with some service always.

Thanks you for quick answer.

I think I have written an ambiguous statement.

2. All services in the NSD supposed to have uniq names, so it will be only one device with some service always. -> I want to know that how many device work in a channel. -> I think the maximum number of terminals seems to be the number of IPs that the AP can allocate. right??

The idea was to build NSD service name as 'channel name' + 'device identifier', then client discover all registered services and construct a set of channels from service names.

Yes, the number of terminals will be limited by a number of IPs the AP can allocate, true.
