Multicast Listener Discovery for IPv6
RFC 2710, “Multicast Listener Discovery for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 1999 by S. Deering, W. Fenner, B. Haberman. It has since been updated by RFC 3590, RFC 3810, RFC 9777. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the protocol used by an IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners (that is, nodes wishing to receive multicast packets) on its directly attached links, and to discover specifically which multicast addresses are of interest to those neighboring nodes. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
The canonical text of RFC 2710 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in TXT,HTML.
