FWIW I also don't think we have consensus on mDNS, nor for that matter, DNS. I haven't yet seen a solution for naming that ticks all boxes of the homenet architecture, so we should really avoid referring to them in the architecture document in a way that implies that any of them have been "selected" for homenet. regards RayH _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
