Hi Abhisek,

JmDNS does not use broadcast but multicast and the spec defines the
multicast group "224.0.0.251" and port "5353" respectively. If needed,
the port can be tweaked by "net.mdns.port". If you also need to adjust
the multicast group, you will have to file an enhancement request
upstream [0].
Btw. if you want to disable discovery completely, just undeploy the
jmdns provider.
