MLD/MLDv2 (RFC2710/RFC3810)
MLD is used by IPv6 systems (listeners and routers) to report their IP
multicast addresses memberships to any neighboring multicast routers. The
implementation of MLD v2 is backward compatible with MLD v1.
MLD protocol enables the IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast
listeners, the nodes that want to receive the 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 multicast routing protocol that make the decision on the
flow of the multicast data packets.
