mdns_lite v0.5.0 MdnsLite View Source
A simple implementation of an mDNS (multicast DNS (Domain Name Server)) server.
mDNS uses multicast UDP rather than TCP. Its primary use is to provide DNS
support for the local
domain. MdnsLite
listens on a well-known ip address/port. If
a request arrives that it recognizes, it constructs the appropriate DNS response.
MdnsLite
responds to a limited number of DNS requests; they are all handled
in the MdnsLite.Query
module. Of particular note is the SRV request. The
response will be a list of known services and how to contact them (domain and port)
as described in the configuration file.
MdnsLite
uses a "network monitor", a module that listens for changes in a network.
Its purpose is to ensure that the network interfaces are up to date. The current
version of MdnsLite
has an MdnsLite.InetMonitor
which periodically checks,
via inet:getifaddrs()
,
for changes in the network. For example, a change could be the re-assignment of IP addresses.
This module is initialized, at runtime, with host information and service descriptions found
in the config.exs
file. The descriptions will be used by MdnsLite
to
construct a response to a query.
Please refer to the README.md
for further information.
