What Is Mld Proxy?

Multicast Listener Discovery

Multicast Listener Discovery
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a component of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 routers for discovering multicast listeners on a directly attached link, much like Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used in IPv4.

(MLD) proxy enables the router to issue MLD host messages on behalf of hosts that the router discovered through standard MLD interfaces. The router acts as a proxy for its hosts. ... The attached upstream router on the upstream interface should be running MLD.

Should I enable MLD?

For the device to learn multicast-router interfaces and group-member interfaces, an MLD querier must exist in the network. For the device itself to function as an MLD querier, MLD must be enabled on the device. You can statically configure an interface to be a multicast-router interface or a group-member interface.

What is MLD on router?

The Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Protocol manages multicast groups by establishing, maintaining, and removing groups on a subnet. Multicast routing devices use MLD to learn which groups have members on each of their attached physical networks. MLD must be enabled for the router to receive IPv6 multicast packets.
