Once again, I must have missed something. Why is there ever any reason to do MLD on any link-local group? - any host on link will automaticly receive all multicast traffic that is sent to link-local group, at least if it itself is listening that group. - what use would default router have for the info? There is nothing coming into link-local group from outside the link. Perhaps, the RFC just should say "MAY use MLD" for link-local groups, if someone really wants to do it for some reason. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
