received). When the timer value comes down to 0, the host sends an MLD report to the
corresponding IPv6 multicast group.
An appropriate setting of the maximum response time for MLD queries allows hosts to
respond to queries quickly and avoids burstiness of MLD traffic on the network caused
by reports simultaneously sent by a large number of hosts when corresponding timers
expires simultaneously.
z
For MLD general queries, you can configure the maximum response time to fill
their Max Response time field.
z
For MLD group-specific queries, you can configure the MLD last-member query
interval to fill their Max Response time field. Namely, for MLD group-specific
queries, the maximum response time equals to the MLD last-member query
interval.
