MLD Snooping
Chapter 40. MLD Snooping
40.1 MLD Snooping Overview
MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) Internet Group Management Protocol is part of the
IPv6 protocol, to support and manage hosts and multicast routers IP multicast. IP Multicast
allows the transmission of IP packets to a multicast group constitutes a set of host, multicast
group membership relationship is dynamic, host can dynamically join or leave the group, so to
minimize the network load, effective online data transfer.
MLD Snooping is used to monitor hosts and routers between the MLD messages,
according to group members join, leave, and dynamically create, maintain and delete the
multicast address table, this time, multicast frames based on their respective multicast
address table be forwarded.
