# The 5-tuple version string scheme is a[.b[.c[.d[.e]]]], where
#
#   0 < a ≤ 18446743
#   0 ≤ b ≤ 999
#   0 ≤ c ≤ 999
#   0 ≤ d ≤ 999
#   0 ≤ e ≤ 999
#
# mDNSResponder currently encodes version strings as 32-bit unsigned integers. This only allows room for the three
# most significant fields if the following encoding formula is used: (a × 1000000) + (b × 1000) + c.
#
# Note that when b = c = 999, the largest possible 32-bit unsigned integer is 4293999999, therefore 0 < a ≤ 4293
# must hold. As a starts to get close to surpassing 4293, mDNSResponder may need to start encoding version strings
# using a wider integer type.
