For example, multicast is used by ND, the IPv6 equivalent of ARP. MLD snooping means only a few hosts (typically only one, in fact) in the subnet see any given ND request. Without MLD snooping, every port in the subnet sees it. Or DHCPv6 - without MLD snooping, every port sees all client traffic for all DHCP requests; with MLD snooping only the routers/relays in the subnet see it. "See" with MLD snooping means "see it at all", not "see and ignore it" as in the broadcast world.
Oh really? Exactly when during the ND process does a device send an MLD message that can be snooped? -- Brandon Ross Yahoo & AIM: BrandonNRoss +1-404-635-6667 ICQ: 2269442 Schedule a meeting: https://doodle.com/bross Skype: brandonross
