Do you have a decent smart switch with Acl capability? You could easily use that to block multicast addresses to port <x> from ip <y> on ingress. On some switches, you can also alarm into your event mgmt system when you see those (on others, not). If you have an sflow/netflow collector, you could use that to setup thresholds for detecting them.

Hi,

My school district uses Makerbot software that has a known problem where it floods the network broken mdns packet broadcasts. Here is an example:

I am wondering if there is anyway to block these packets as they cause a lot of problems on the network. The software is running on a windows machine. We try turning it off, but it keeps turning itself back on. Makerbot does not seem to want to fix the problem.

cheers,

ski
