Title : Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for
IPv6
Author(s) : R. Vida, L. Costa
Filename : draft-vida-mld-v2-07.txt
Pages : 57
Date : 2003-6-4
This document specifies Version 2 of the Multicast Listener Discovery
Protocol, MLDv2. MLD is the protocol used by an IPv6 router to
discover the presence of multicast listeners (that is, nodes wishing
to receive multicast packets) on its directly attached links, and to
discover specifically which multicast addresses are of interest to
those neighboring nodes.
MLDv2 is derived from version 3 of IPv4's Internet Group Management
Protocol, IGMPv3. Compared to the previous version, MLDv2 adds
support for 'source filtering', that is, the ability for a node to
report interest in listening to packets *only* from specific source
addresses, or from *all but* specific source addresses, sent to a
particular multicast address.
This document obsoletes RFC 2710.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-vida-mld-v2-07.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
