The mDNS responder (avahi) browses and controls mDNS software (nss-mdns). The mDNS responder allows you to broadcast and resolve a computer's address on the (mesh) network. When services are available on the computer, they can be accessible through the resolved name, but they aren't broadcasted until listed in the avahi services folder (etc/avahi/services). | The mDNS responder (avahi) browses and controls mDNS software (nss-mdns).
