CHAPTER 6
Configuring Multicast Listener Discovery
Hosts use Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol in IPv6 to report their multicast
group memberships to neighboring routers. Similarly, multicast routers, such as the
E Series router, use MLD to discover which of their hosts belong to multicast groups.
This chapter describes how to configure MLD on an E Series router; it contains the
