Proposal: Add ManagerNetworkProtocol.Oem.OpenBMC.mDNS

[Ratan Gupta]

Hi Joseph,

I am in favor for adding this as oem for short term and also propose it 
in DMTF to get it standardized.

There should be a way to disable the multicast-feature as for some 
clients multicast is a security concern.

Regards

Ratan
