MLD Snooping
In IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use IGMP snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic by
dynamically configuring Layer 2 interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded to only those
interfaces associated with IP multicast address. In IPv6, MLD snooping performs a similar
function. With MLD snooping, IPv6 multicast data is selectively forwarded to a list of ports
that want to receive the data, instead of being flooded to all ports in a VLAN. This list is
constructed by snooping IPv6 multicast control packets.
