MDNS (Multicast DNS) is a protocol that allows devices connected to a local area network (LAN) to communicate with each other without the need for an external DNS server. It enables a LAN to assign hostnames to each device, which can then be used to locate services and other network resources within the LAN. MDNS is similar to DNS, but it does not require a domain name or authoritative DNS server; instead, it relies on the local network for hostname resolution.
