Field Description

Number of Sources

 

•

 

This field is set to 0 in a general query message or a multicast-

address-specific query message. 

•

 

This field represents the number of source addresses in a multicast-

address-and-source-specific query message.

 

Source Address( i )

 

IPv6 multicast source address in a multicast-address-specific query 
message. i represents the number of multicast source addresses.)

 

 

MLD report message 

A host sends an MLD report message to report the current multicast listening state.

Field Description

Type = 143

 

Message type. For a report message, this field is set to 143.

 

Reserved

 

The Reserved fields are set to 0 on transmission and ignored 
on reception.

 

Checksum

 

Standard IPv6 checksum

 

Number of Multicast Address Records

 

This field indicates how many IPv6 multicast address records 
are present in this report message.

 

Multicast Address Record(i)

 

This field represents information of each IPv6 multicast address 
the host listens to on the interface from which the report 

message is sent, including record type, IPv6 multicast address, 
and IPv6 multicast source address on the sender. i represents 

the number of IPv6 multicast address records.
