Details

(Keywords: meta)

mDNS can help preserve privacy for webrtc calls by hiding local IP addresses.

Adding support in Firefox will involve two parts:

  • The first part is to support handling incoming mDNS ICE candidates
  • The second part is for Firefox to send out mDNS ICE candidates (instead of host candidate with IP addresses in them)

mDNS Ice Candidate RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-mdns-ice-candidates-03

mDNS RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762

There is a mdns implementation already in tree here that may end up being helpful: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/dns/mdns/libmdns
