mDNS (Multicast DNS) is used for simple service discovery in the (W)LAN. Prominent applications based on this are Bonjour / AirPlay and Google Cast.
Since mDNS requests are sent as multicast, transmission at the WLAN level must use the lowest permitted data rate, which can consume significant airtime depending on the volume of mDNS requests. With the mDNS filter, requests to definable mDNS services can be selectively allowed for forwarding over the WLAN.
