To speed up the response of hosts to MLD queries and avoid simultaneous timer expirations causing MLD

report traffic bursts, you must properly set the maximum response delay.

For MLD general queries, the maximum response delay is set by the max-response-time command.

For MLD multicast-address-specific query and multicast-address-and-source-specific query

messages, the maximum response delay equals the last listener query interval.

When multiple multicast routers exist on the same subnet, the MLD querier is responsible for sending MLD

query messages. If a non-querier router receives no MLD query from the querier when the other querier

present interval expires, it considers the querier as having failed and starts a new querier election.

Otherwise, the non-querier resets the other querier present timer.

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

N/A

2.

Enter MLD view.

mld

N/A

3.

Configure the MLD querier’s
robustness variable.

robust-count robust-value

2 times by default.

4.

Configure the startup query
interval.

startup-query-interval interval

By default, the startup query
interval is 1/4 of the "MLD query

interval."

5.

Configure the startup query
count.

startup-query-count value

By default, the startup query count
is set to the MLD querier’s

robustness variable.

6.

Configure the MLD query
interval.

timer query interval

125 seconds by default.

7.

Configure the maximum
response delay for MLD

general query messages.

max-response-time interval

10 seconds by default.

8.

Configure the MLD last
listener query interval.

last-listener-query-interval interval 1 second by default.

9.

Configure the MLD other
querier present interval.

timer other-querier-present

interval

By default, the other querier
present interval is determined by

the formula "Other querier present

interval (in seconds) = [ MLD query

interval ] × [ MLD querier’s
robustness variable ] + [ maximum

response delay for MLD general

query ] /2".
