We noticed, if the network became saturated, the stacks became unusable in this order:1. AppleTalk (Apple) 2. NetBEUI (Microsoft) 3. IPX/SPX (Novell Netware) The fourth stack, TCP/IP, was never observed to become unusable (though of course a severe enough problem_could_ take it down). The difference owed mostly to good vs. bad design, but in no small part to how 'chatty' they were -- how some plastered the network with excessive announcement and acknowledgement blasts, and others did not. The DNS-SD ('dnssd') / mDNS stack_absolutely_, in that regard, reminds me of AppleTalk. Kill it with fire. ;->
It's true that these networks which work by broadcast consume a lot of the bandwidth. They aren't designed for large LANs. But service discovery is something very handy. I imagine it might be centralized into a local DNS server, with maybe some extension of the protocol, instead of letting every host talk to every host. I don't want to waste time figuring out printer properties and maintaining a printer list on my laptop. There are already too many reasons to waste time.
