Name Res olutio n With out
DN S
• Absence of DNS Server,
– Perform DNS queries via IP Multicast
• Multicast DNS
– Does not require any changes to the DNS Protocol
(messages, resource record types, etc).
– Resolve locally unique hostnames.
– ‘Answer list’ in Multicast-DNS will have details of the
mDNS Querier and Responder, and other mechanics of
where the messages are being sent and which devices are
listening.

Multicast DNS…
• Structure of the Multicast DNS Message
– Multicast DNS Message format is similar to that of
Unicast DNS Message format.
– In fact, software can decode and display mDNS packets
using the same decoder as uDNS packets.
• Minor differences:
– uDNS packets are limited to, at most, 512 bytes. mDNS
packets are allowed to be up to 9,000 bytes.
– mDNS uses UDP port 5353 instead of port 53.
– mDNS uses UTF-8, and only UTF-8, to encode resource
record names. uDNS, use variety of encodes for a
compatibility reasons.
