A method comprising:
- receiving, at a proxy server, a multicast announcement through a first network, the multicast announcement received from a casting device;
- generating, at the proxy server, a modified version of the announcement by:
- replacing a friendly name identified in the multicast announcement with a new friendly name identified by a translation data structure;
- and
- modifying a compression offset pointer based on a difference between a length of the new friendly name and a length of the friendly name identified in the multicast announcement;
- and
- multicasting, from the proxy server, the modified version of the announcement to a second network.
