MDNS messages

A query is sent to discover the IPFS nodes on the local network

{
  type: 'query',
  questions: [ { name: 'ipfs.local', type: 'PTR' } ]
}

When a query is detected, each IPFS node sends an answer about itself

    [ { name: 'ipfs.local',
        type: 'PTR',
        class: 'IN',
        ttl: 120,
        data: 'QmNPubsDWATVngE3d5WDSNe7eVrFLuk38qb9t6vdLnu2aK.ipfs.local' },
      { name: 'QmNPubsDWATVngE3d5WDSNe7eVrFLuk38qb9t6vdLnu2aK.ipfs.local',
        type: 'SRV',
        class: 'IN',
        ttl: 120,
        data:
         { priority: 10,
           weight: 1,
           port: '20002',
           target: 'LAPTOP-G5LJ7VN9' } },
      { name: 'QmNPubsDWATVngE3d5WDSNe7eVrFLuk38qb9t6vdLnu2aK.ipfs.local',
        type: 'TXT',
        class: 'IN',
        ttl: 120,
        data: ['QmNPubsDWATVngE3d5WDSNe7eVrFLuk38qb9t6vdLnu2aK'] },
      { name: 'LAPTOP-G5LJ7VN9',
        type: 'A',
        class: 'IN',
        ttl: 120,
        data: '127.0.0.1' },
      { name: 'LAPTOP-G5LJ7VN9',
        type: 'AAAA',
        class: 'IN',
        ttl: 120,
        data: '::1' } ]
