Default How do I chase down who is doing a multicast?

Based on that port number:

Seems that every host running the DNS client is going to use LLMNR. I
suspect if you disable LLMNR that sharing services could get impacted.

Are you allowing rogue hosts to enter your intranet, like letting users
bring their own laptops into work to connect directly to the corporate
network instead of into a DMZ'ed subnet? LLMNR traffic is not routable
(because it is a local link protocol); that is, it cannot pass across
routers, so the problem is not with external hacking into your intranet.

So do you trust the hosts permitted to physically connect to the same
subnet within your intranet?
