Configuring MLD Snooping

Context

Multicast Listener Discovery Snooping (MLD snooping) is an IPv6 Layer 2 multicast protocol. The MLD snooping protocol maintains information about the outbound interfaces of multicast packets by snooping multicast protocol packets exchanged between a Layer 3 multicast device and user hosts. MLD snooping manages and controls multicast packet forwarding at the data link layer.
