Question on MLD

2003-02-27 Thread Siva Veerepalli
RFC2710 (MLD) states that when a General Membership Query is received, a node listening to the query sends a membership report for all multicast addresses it is listening to, excluding the all-nodes link-local multicast address and any multicast addresses of scope 0 (reserved) and 1 (node-local)

Hi Siva, RFC 2462 says that the node MUST join the solicited-node multicast group (which implies using MLD) when performing DAD. Since the node has to send an MLD report in the first instance, there's no reason not to follow the rest of the MLD specification. Greg Siva Veerepalli wrote: At 02:32

In your previous mail you wrote: That is exactly what draft-ietf-magma-mld-source-04.txt is intended to correct. That draft is in front of the IESG at this time. As I pointed out in an earlier message, MLD messages are necessary in order to deal with MLD snooping switches.
