I see this as one level of user control, but not the only level. I would suggest:

* User can control discovery from any address outside the local network
* User can control discovery of a particular "device" (e.g. an IP address)
* User can control discovery of a particular service
* User can control discovery of services from a particular control point (could be "app" per your example) on the local network (white list/black list)
* User can control discovery of services from a particular user (e.g. control point with authentication credentials)

There may be others, but this is a start.
