Title : MLDv1 and MVDv2 Optimization
Author(s) : A. Prasad
Filename : draft-arun-ipv6-mld-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2006-9-14
This document describes an optimization for MLDv1 (RFC 2710) and
MLDv2 (RFC 3810).
As per this optimization, a new router on coming up will not send
periodic ""General Query"" messages to get the list of multicast
listeners. Instead, it will try to get the same from the Querier on
the link. Only if no Querier are present on the link, will the new
router move to Querier state and send ""General Query"" messages.
This approach provides an advantage in eliminating possibly large
number of ""Multicast Listener Report"" messages every time a new
router comes up on a link. More the number of listeners on a link,
more the advantage.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-arun-ipv6-mld-00.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.
