Crate mdns

Available on crate feature mdns only.

Implementation of the libp2p-specific mDNS protocol.

mDNS is a protocol defined by RFC 6762 that allows querying nodes that correspond to a certain domain name.

In the context of libp2p, the mDNS protocol is used to discover other nodes on the local network that support libp2p.

Usage

This crate provides a Mdns and TokioMdns, depending on the enabled features, which implements the NetworkBehaviour trait. This struct will automatically discover other libp2p nodes on the local network.
