Comments on draft-vida-mld-v2-07
I have NO-OBJECTION, but I have a few comments.
I propose a revised Abstract:
This document updates RFC 2710, and it specifies Version 2 of the
Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLDv2). MLD is used by an
IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners on
directly attached links, and to discover which multicast addresses
are of interest to those neighboring nodes. MLDv2 is designed to
be interoperable with MLDv1. MLDv2 adds the ability for a node to
report interest in listening to packets with a particular multicast
address only from specific source addresses or from all sources
except for specific source addresses.
In section 5.1.8, the document says:
If non-zero, the QRV field contains the [Robustness Variable] value
used by the Querier. If the Querier's [Robustness Variable] exceeds
7 (the maximum value of the QRV field), the QRV field is set to zero.
This is an unusual use of square brackets. This convention is used
elsewhere too. It should be explained in a manner similar to the use of
asterisk.
