Source Address Selection for the Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol
RFC 3590, “Source Address Selection for the Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2003 by B. Haberman. It updates RFC 2710. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
It has come to light that there is an issue with the selection of a suitable IPv6 source address for Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) messages when a node is performing stateless address autoconfiguration. This document is intended to clarify the rules on selecting an IPv6 address to use for MLD messages. [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.
