  • Page 15: Multicast Listener Discovery Snooping

    Patch SB251-13 For SwitchBlade 4000 Series Switches and AT-9800 Series Switches Multicast Listener Discovery Snooping Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping enables the switch to forward IPv6 multicast traffic intelligently, instead of flooding it out all ports in the VLAN. Without MLD snooping, multicast group membership for VLAN aware devices is on a per-VLAN basis, because MLD is an IPv6-based protocol.
