Multicast routers send host query messages to determine the interfaces

that are connected to downstream hosts requesting a specific multicast

service. Only the designated multicast router for a subnet sends host

query messages, which are addressed to the link-scope all-nodes

multicast address FF02::1, and uses a time-to-live (TTL) value of 1.

The designated querier is the lowest IP-addressed multicast router on

the subnet.

The robustness value is used to compensate for expected packet lose

on a link. It indicates the number of refresh packets related to the

current MLD state which might be lost without having to terminate that

state.

Routers adopt the robustness value from the most recently received

query. If the query's robustness variable (QRV) is zero, indicating that

the QRV field does not contain a declared robustness value, the switch

will set the robustness variable to the value statically configured by this

command. If the QRV exceeds 7, the maximum value of the QRV field,
