I would like to add some convenience functionality in my app and offer the user to discover hosts with the same network and listen to a certain open port.

With Bonjour and DNSServiceBrowser it is quite easy; the problem is that the port I'm looking for is not supporting mDNS.

What I read it would not be possible to use the ARP table with an AppStore compliant way; at least it would have given me all active nodes in my segment.

What else/what smart way would I have to figure out active hosts/ports in my segment ? A brute loop and just try is the last option ...

Thanks for any hint
