[avahi] Resolving multiple IPV6 address

[Matt Connolly]

On page 15 of that PDF document:

"UIA uses Bonjour libraries to discover new devices
on the local network, but UIA names persist and remain
bound to the original target device despite later migration."

Once devices are introduced, routing happens via each device's EID  
which happens through the virtual "tun" interface created by the UIA  
router. Effectively, this is a new network interface with its own IP  
address, etc.

Avahi/Bonjour can then be used over the tun interface to discover  
services of available machines.

In the case where the Bob has a cell and a laptop on his home network,  
and they have been introduced by UIA, then the devices would both have  
two networks connecting them: local network and UIA. In this case, I  
imagine, a web server on the laptop publishing its service with  
Bonjour would appear as:

laptop.local:80 <- address on local network (perhaps 10.1.1.8)
laptop.Bob:80 <- address on UIA network (perhaps 169.254.201.73)

For each name, Avahi / Bonjour is showing only one IP address per  
network interface.

As far as I can tell, Avahi/Bonjour is only used for initial discovery  
on a local network and after this all routing happens via UIA's EIDs  
and routing over the UIA virtual tun interface.
