Feature Request / Question

Need to be able to discover nodes that are on branch networks, typically devices that are connected to BACNet routers. The product I use as reference is BAC0 which somehow forces the routers to query segments and publish their response. Workaround right now is to use external tools to discover nodes.

I will answer to this issue, but could write to all of yours from today: That's all correct ... but without test devices or other options to test and also maybe access to the "only commercially available specs - and this is the main issue - this all is impossible to implement because the simulators available are not really allowing to do such things or to simulate this. BacNet devices are not really cheap so also just buying them is not really an option ...

So I'm not sure if there will be any significant progress - at least not planned on my side - sorry about this
