Enabling the MLD host tracking function
With the MLD host tracking function, the switch can record the information of the member hosts that are
receiving IPv6 multicast traffic, including the host IPv6 address, running duration, and timeout time. You
can monitor and manage the member hosts according to the recorded information.

Setting the DSCP value for MLD messages
IPv6 uses an eight-bit Traffic class field (called ToS in IPv4) to identify type of service for IP packets. As
defined in RFC 24724, the first six bits contains the DSCP priority for prioritizing traffic in the network and
the last two bits are reserved.

Optional.
By default, the DSCP value in MLD
messages is 48.
Configuring MLD SSM mapping
Because of some possible restrictions, some receiver hosts on an SSM network might run MLDv1. To
provide SSM service support for these receiver hosts, you need to configure the MLD SSM mapping
feature on the last hop router.
