+
+## Auto detection
+
+Auto detection is based on the system routing next hop for the mDNS broadcast address (`224.0.0.251`).
+
+If the next-hop has non-loopback, non-link-local, non-multicast addresses, auto detection will use the interface that corresponds to the next-hop (commonly referred to as the default interface).
+
+If the next-hop cannot be detected or is a loopback address, auto detection will use all interfaces with non-loopback, non-link-local, non-multicast addresses. 
+
