Thread 1.3 includes support for DNS-Based Service Discovery. This allows Thread devices to discover services using standard unicast DNS and Wi-Fi / Ethernet devices to discover services using mDNS.

Thread 1.3 devices are not required to use DNS-Based Service Discovery to publish or discover services. However, Thread 1.3 Border Routers are required to support SRP Server, DNS-SD Advertising Proxy, and Discovery Proxy.

The Thread Border Router codelab provides an example of how to use these services.
