how to join multicast group in ipv6

hemendra · 07-29-2011, 04:13 AM

Hi,
In the ipv4 code i was using "ip_mc_join_group()" to join the multicast group.
but i cannot find a similar function for ipv6
i have found one ipv6_sock_mc_join() but this function is not available for use with my module as it is not exported.

what should i use for ipv6 ?

Regards,
Hemendra

Multicast Listener Discovery - MLD is bolted into IPv6 and performs the function of IGMP in IPv4.
