Careful with that ethics can of worms you’re holding there ;)

I’ve seen some university networks where the wireless is surprisingly flat, and the multicast/broadcast traffic is not insignificant. The more recent trend is to VLAN pool or similar to avoid that, but that then affects service discovery (two WiFi devices in same room, but potentially on different subnets).

The service discovery traffic is generally replicated over IPv4 and IPv6; you’ll see the same advertisements and discovery traffic essentially duplicated.  But this is potentially useful in say a home network where you have legacy devices like TVs for which you can only discover the display over IPv4, and throw data to it over IPv4. 

The model in the DNSSD WG for wider area discovery is to keep resolution local, and relay the responses from the discovery proxies using unicast.
