Multicast Listener Discovery
This chapter provides the following examples:
•     Configure MLD 
•     MLD Snooping 
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol enables IPv6 routers to discover multicast listeners, 
the nodes that are configured to receive multicast data packets, on its directly attached 
interfaces. The protocol specifically discovers which multicast addresses are of interest to its 
neighboring nodes and provides this information to the active multicast routing protocol that 
makes decisions on the flow of multicast data packets. Periodically, the multicast router sends 
general queries requesting multicast address listener information from systems on an attached 
networks. These queries are used to build and refresh the multicast address listener state on the 
attached networks. In response to the queries, multicast listeners reply with membership reports. 
These membership reports specify their multicast addresses listener state and their desired set 
of sources with current-state multicast address records. The multicast router also processes 
unsolicited filter- mode-change records and source-list-change records from systems that want 
to indicate interest in receiving or not receiving traffic from particular sources.
