NOOPING

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping operates on IPv6 traffic and

performs a similar function to IGMP snooping for IPv4. That is, MLD

snooping dynamically configures switch ports to limit IPv6 multicast traffic

so that it is forwarded only to ports with users that want to receive it. This

reduces the flooding of IPv6 multicast packets in the specified VLANs.

There are two versions of the MLD protocol, version 1 and version 2.

MLDv1 control packets include Listener Query, Listener Report, and

Listener Done messages (equivalent to IGMPv2 query, report, and leave

messages). MLDv2 control packets include MLDv2 query and report

messages, as well as MLDv1 report and done messages.

Remember that IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping are independent

functions, and can therefore both function at the same time.
