mDNS Repeater
-------------
Starting with VyOS 1.2 a `Multicast DNS`_ (mDNS) repeater functionality is
provided.
Starting with VyOS 1.2 a :abbr:`mDNS (Multicast DNS)` repeater functionality is
provided. Additional information can be obtained from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS.
Multicast DNS uses the 224.0.0.51 address, which is "administratively scoped"
and does not leave the subnet. It re-broadcast mDNS packets from one interface
and does not leave the subnet. It retransmits mDNS packets from one interface
to other interfaces. This enables support for e.g. Apple Airplay devices across
multiple VLANs.
