Link-local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR)

The goal of Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is to enablename resolution in scenarios in which conventional DNS name resolutionis not possible. LLMNR supports all current and future DNS formats,types, and classes, while operating on a separate port from DNS, andwith a distinct resolver cache. Since LLMNR only operates on the locallink, it cannot be considered a substitute for DNS. This memo providesinformation for the Internet community.
