Above will totally fail with ND multicast groups. Their design goal is that each host is only on one group. It is highly unlikely that listening would hear a duplicate join for the solicited node multicast address. I've already said my differing opinion on this way back earlier, but apparently I lost the vote. But, just to make clear: sending MLD messages for link local multicast groups is waste of time and specification effort. If you have layer 2 sniffers, they can (and most likely must) sniff the normal ND traffic too. A ND DAD contains exactly the same information content as MLD join for the solicited node group. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
