It's confusing to call this an "mdns like" peer discovery mechanism

[TimDaub]

• I know it's kind of silly from my side, but I've always discounted this library as using mdns for peer discovery given its tag line "A js-libp2p module that uses pubsub for mdns like peer discovery"
• "mdns" never fit my needs because I needed discovery on the internet too and so I was wondering why gossipsub nodes don't interconnect: https://github.com/ChainSafe/js-libp2p-gossipsub/issues/409
• It turns out, this library is necessary and uses gossipsub's pubsub mechanism to do the peer discovery

This library isn't necessarily required to peer discovery with GossipSub. We explain the different Peer discovery mechanisms here and you opt for a different peer discovery mechanism depending on your scenario

understood, thx
