Windows 10 is Causes avahi-daemon to Spam Log File
Does Netgear have a fix that will stop Windows 10 from causing the avahi-daemon to fill up the log file with 'invalid response packages'?

Which ReadyNAS model and which firmware?
Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Microsoft is violating the mDNS RFC. There is a discussion about this here: https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/issues/10#issuecomment-131972196
Have you installed the latest Windows updates for your PC?

Based on the discussion in the github, I'd agree they are violating the RFC.
However, it would still make sense to update the avahi-daemon to prevent flooding in the log file. For better or worse, there are no standards police, and this particular issue seems easy to deal with.

Is there a Netgear location or a distro where I can download the latest software (avahi-daemon 0.6.32)?
