mDNS.c needed to become cleaner. Domain related functions are moved to the mdns_domain.c util module. The output related functions are split off (clear separation between defining the packet and generating the packet). The output functions can now be found in mdns_out.c. mDNS move probe question packet generation to mdns_send_outpacket The probe any questions were added to the pbuf in the send_probe routine. It is better if we move all pbuf generation to the output function so later on packets can be delayed etc. keep it all in one place. mDNS: move legacy question generation to mdns_send_outpacket It's better to do the pbuf generation in one place. Especially important for message delaying etc. mDNS take out domain related functionality and put in other file. The mDNS file is getting very big and a lot still needs to be added. For clarity reasons it's better to split these domain functions from the main mDNS file. mDNS split off output related functionality and put in other file A lot of functions are only needed for the generation of the pbuf, by separating them into another file we clean up the mdns file. We only need the mdns_send_outpacket function as interface. Packet definition is now completely separated from packet generation. |

INTRODUCTION
lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage
while still having a full scale TCP. This making lwIP suitable for use
in embedded systems with tens of kilobytes of free RAM and room for
around 40 kilobytes of code ROM.
lwIP was originally developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and Networks
Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS)
and is now developed and maintained by a worldwide network of developers.
FEATURES
* IP (Internet Protocol, IPv4 and IPv6) including packet forwarding over
multiple network interfaces
* ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for network maintenance and debugging
* IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for multicast traffic management
* MLD (Multicast listener discovery for IPv6). Aims to be compliant with
RFC 2710. No support for MLDv2
* ND (Neighbor discovery and stateless address autoconfiguration for IPv6).
Aims to be compliant with RFC 4861 (Neighbor discovery) and RFC 4862
(Address autoconfiguration)
* DHCP, AutoIP/APIPA (Zeroconf), ACD (Address Conflict Detection)
and (stateless) DHCPv6
* UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite extensions
* TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation
fast recovery/fast retransmit and sending SACKs
* raw/native API for enhanced performance
* Optional Berkeley-like socket API
* TLS: optional layered TCP ("altcp") for nearly transparent TLS for any
TCP-based protocol (ported to mbedTLS) (see changelog for more info)
* PPPoS and PPPoE (Point-to-point protocol over Serial/Ethernet)
* DNS (Domain name resolver incl. mDNS)
* 6LoWPAN (via IEEE 802.15.4, BLE or ZEP)
APPLICATIONS
* HTTP server with SSI and CGI (HTTPS via altcp)
* SNMPv2c agent with MIB compiler (Simple Network Management Protocol), v3 via altcp
* SNTP (Simple network time protocol)
* NetBIOS name service responder
* MDNS (Multicast DNS) responder
* iPerf server implementation
* MQTT client (TLS support via altcp)

DEVELOPMENT
lwIP has grown into an excellent TCP/IP stack for embedded devices,
and developers using the stack often submit bug fixes, improvements,
and additions to the stack to further increase its usefulness.
Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for
software development, maintenance and distribution. Everyone can
help improve lwIP by use of Savannah's interface, Git and the
mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the
Git source tree.
The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' Git module and
contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' Git module.
See doc/savannah.txt for details on Git server access for users and
developers.
The current Git trees are web-browsable:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip.git
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip/lwip-contrib.git
Submit patches and bugs via the lwIP project page:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/
Continuous integration builds (GCC, clang):
https://travis-ci.org/lwip-tcpip/lwip
DOCUMENTATION
Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the current
Git sources and is available from this web page:
http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/
Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip
plus searchable archives:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/
There is a wiki about lwIP at
http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/LwIP_Wiki
You might get questions answered there, but unfortunately, it is not as
well maintained as it should be.
lwIP was originally written by Adam Dunkels:

Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code
documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to
become familiar with the design of lwIP.
