Chapter 26: Multicast Listener Discovery
369
How MLD Works
The
software
uses
the
information
obtained
through
MLD
to
maintain
a
list
of
multicast
group
memberships
for
each
interface
and
forwards
the
multicast
traffic
only
to
interested
listeners.
Without
MLD,
the
switch
forwards
IPv6
multicast
traffic
through
all
ports,
increasing
network
load.
Following
is
an
overview
of
operations
when
MLD
is
configured
on
NE2552E:
The
switch
acts
as
an
Mrouter
when
MLDv1/v2
is
configured
and
enabled
on
each
of
its
directly
attached
links.
If
the
switch
has
multiple
interfaces
connected
to
the
same
link,
it
operates
the
protocol
on
any
one
of
the
interfaces.
If
there
are
multiple
Mrouters
on
the
subnet,
the
Mrouter
with
the
numerically
lowest
IPv6
address
is
elected
as
the
Querier.
The
Querier
sends
general
queries
at
short
intervals
to
learn
multicast
address
listener
information
from
an
attached
link.
Hosts
respond
to
these
queries
by
reporting
their
per
‐
interface
Multicast
Address
Listening
state,
through
Current
State
Report
messages
sent
to
a
specific
multicast
address
that
all
MLD
routers
on
the
link
listen
to.
If
the
listening
state
of
a
host
changes,
the
host
immediately
reports
these
changes
through
a
State
Change
Report
message.
The
Querier
sends
a
Multicast
Address
Specific
Query
to
verify
if
hosts
are
listening
to
a
specified
multicast
address
or
not.
Similarly,
if
MLDv2
is
configured,
the
Querier
sends
a
Multicast
Address
and
Source
Specific
Query
to
verify,
for
a
specified
multicast
address,
if
hosts
are
listening
to
a
specific
set
of
sources,
or
not.
MLDv2
listener
report
messages
consists
of
Multicast
Address
Records:
INCLUDE:
to
receive
packets
from
source
specified
in
the
MLDv2
message
EXCLUDE:
to
receive
packets
from
all
sources
except
the
ones
specified
in
the
MLDv2
message
A
host
can
send
a
State
Change
Report
to
indicate
its
desire
to
stop
listening
to
a
particular
multicast
address
(or
source
in
MLDv2).
The
Querier
then
sends
a
multicast
address
specific
query
to
verify
if
there
are
other
listeners
of
the
multicast
address.
If
there
aren’t
any,
the
Mrouter
deletes
the
multicast
address
from
its
Multicast
Address
Listener
state
and
stops
sending
multicast
traffic.
Similarly
in
MLDv2,
the
Mrouter
sends
a
Multicast
Address
and
Source
Specific
Query
to
verify
if,
for
a
specified
multicast
address,
there
are
hosts
still
listening
to
a
specific
set
of
sources.
NE2552E
supports
MLD
versions
1
and
2.
Note:
MLDv2
operates
in
version
1
compatibility
mode
when,
in
a
specific
network,
not
all
hosts
are
configured
with
MLDv2.
