## $XORP: xorp/contrib/mld6igmp_lite/README,v 1.3 2008/07/18 23:41:21 pavlin Exp $#LightWeight Multicast Listener Discovery/Internet Group Management Protocol(LW-MLD/IGMP) Implementation===============================================================This directory contains the XORP implementation of the LightWeight MLD andIGMP protocols.Configuration=============LightWeight MLD/IGMP like most XORP processes does not take its configurationparameters from the command line. Its parameters are provided viaXRLs. At the very least a LW-MLD/IGMP process must be provided withthe set of network interfaces to enable for multicast.Startup=======LW-MLD/IGMP is disabled by default. It can be used instead of theexisting MLD/IGMP vanilla implementation by using the following commandbefore compiling XORP:  ./configure --with-mld6igmp_liteIn normal operation, LW-MLD/IGMP would be started by the XORP router managerprocess, not directly from the command line.  For information how to configure LW-MLD/IGMP seehttp://www.xorp.org/getting_started.htmlorhttp://www.xorp.org/releases/current/docs/user_manual/user_manual.pdfCurrently, the LW-MLD/IGMP XORP configuration is exactly same as theconfiguration for the existing MLD/IGMP vanilla implementation.Documentation=============The LW-MLD/IGMP design architecture and code structure are described in:	${XORP}/docs/mld6igmp/The programming documentation is in:	${XORP}/docs/kdoc/html/mld6igmp/Testing=======Currently, the LW-MLD/IGMP testing is performed manually, by startingLW-MLD/IGMP on a number of testbed machines.In the future, automated testing will be added, similar tothe BGP testing framework.Status======The LW-MLD/IGMP implementation is based on the specification in thefollowing documents: * RFC 2236: Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 2 * RFC 3376: Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3 * RFC 2710: Multicast Listener Discovery for IPv6, Version 1 * RFC 3810: Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for IPv6 * draft-ietf-mboned-lightweight-igmpv3-mldv2-02Contact=======For any question or suggestion about the LightWeight IGMPv3/MLDv2implementation please contact the current maintainer:  libin020989 AT gmail.com
