Description: Multicast DNS repeater
 mdns-repeater is a Multicast DNS repeater for Linux. 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.
