Remarks

Configure the MLD other querier
present interval

mld timer other-querier-present
interval

Required
By default, the other querier

present interval is determined by

the formula “Other querier present
interval (in seconds) = [ MLD query

interval ] × [ MLD querier’s

robustness variable ] + [ maximum

response delay for MLD general
query ] /2”.

CAUTION:

To avoid frequent MLD querier changes, set the other querier present interval greater than the MLD
query interval.

To avoid incorrect multicast group member removals, set the MLD query interval greater than the
maximum response delay for MLD general queries.

Configuring MLD fast-leave processing

In some applications, such as ADSL dial-up networking, only one multicast receiver host is attached to a

port of the MLD querier. To allow fast response to the MLD done messages of the host when it switches

frequently from one IPv6 multicast group to another, you can enable MLD fast-leave processing on the

MLD querier.
With fast-leave processing enabled, after receiving an MLD done message from a host, the MLD querier

sends a leave notification to the upstream immediately without first sending MLD
multicast-address-specific queries. In this way, the leave latency is reduced on one hand, and the network

bandwidth is saved on the other hand.
