In Apple’s fourth beta of OS X Yosemite 10.10.4, which was seeded to developers today, Apple made a significant change to the way the operating system handles network management. The latest beta replaces the plagued ‘discoveryd’ process with the more stable mDNSResponder that Mac OS X has used for over 12 years. Discoveryd was introduced in OS X Yosemite and replaced mDNSResponder — both handling network management, specifically DNS services for OS X, iOS, and more. Apple has been trying to fix the poor Yosemite’s Wi-Fi performance in almost every Yosemite release (10.10.1, 10.10.2, 10.10.3), but problems have still persisted; however, today’s removal of discoveryd will hopefully alleviate many of the network issues users have been experiencing. As outlined by ArsTechnica, discoveryd would cause a wide range of network issues including random DNS resolving errors, duplicate machine names (Apple TV 3, etc), inconsistent wake on demand, and very flaky bonjour registration.
