byteblowerll.byteblower.MLDProtocol¶

class byteblowerll.byteblower.MLDProtocol(*args, **kwargs)¶

The Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD) Protocol for IPv6 manages multicast address listening for a given IPv6 host.

This class support two MLD Protocol versions:

MLDv1: :rfc:2710
MLDv2: :rfc:3810. Version 2 of MLD adds support for ‘source filtering’, that is, the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets only from specific source addresses, or from all but specific source addresses, sent to a particular multicast address. That information may be used by multicast routing protocols to avoid delivering multicast packets from specific sources to networks where there are no interested receivers.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
