Multicast DNS uses the 224.0.0.51 address, which is "administratively scoped" and does not leave the subnet. . mdns-repeater provides a "keep it simple, stupid" solution to discovering mDNS services across subnets, and is primarily intended for router distributions and software firewalls. . Since the mDNS protocol sends the AA records in the packet itself, the repeater does not need to forge the source address. Instead, the source address is of the interface that repeats the packet.
