[avahi] Unicast Responses

[Janaína Lemos]

Hi,

I specified  a protocol for secure service discovery, called Sec-SD, and I
would to implement it over mDNS/DNS-SD. The main idea is that the two
parties involved -- client and service provider -- must send hash codes
obtained from their credentials in order to authenticate . This is the
reason because the questions must be sent with QU bit set.

Thanks!
Janaína
