When more than one service (just 2) need to be probed for conflict, generation of the probe packet fail because pbuf is too small! So OUTPACKET_SIZE renamed to MDNS_OUTPUT_PACKET_SIZE and moved to mdns_opts.h to allow configuration. Default configuration raise it to 1450 to have enough space when MDNS_MAX_SERVICES > 1 else it remain 512. Extract from RFC 6762, chapter 17, Multicast DNS Message Size: The 1987 DNS specification [RFC1035] restricts DNS messages carried by UDP to no more than 512 bytes (not counting the IP or UDP headers). For UDP packets carried over the wide-area Internet in 1987, this was appropriate. For link-local multicast packets on today's networks, there is no reason to retain this restriction. Given that the packets are by definition link-local, there are no Path MTU issues to consider. Multicast DNS messages carried by UDP may be up to the IP MTU of the physical interface, less the space required for the IP header (20 bytes for IPv4; 40 bytes for IPv6) and the UDP header (8 bytes).

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.
