Today, with the rise of home networking, there are an increasing number of
ad-hoc networks operating without a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The
goal of Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is to enable name
resolution in scenarios in which conventional DNS name resolution is not
possible. LLMNR supports all current and future DNS formats, types and
classes, while operating on a separate port from DNS, and with a distinct
resolver cache. Since LLMNR only operates on the local link, it cannot be
considered a substitute for DNS.
