Hi,
I have a query regarding the IGMPv3/MLD Router behaviour. In
IGMPv3/MLDv2, the action of a router on receiving a report message for a
particular Group depends on the router's current state for the group at
the time of receiving the report, as defined in section 6.4 of RFC 3376.
Now what should be a router's initial current state for a group when it
has received the first report for the group, lets say a router comes up
afresh and receives the first report message for a group G1 with filter
mode TO_EX(NULL). Now it has to consider some initial current state for
the group and then based on that it has to take an action for the
TO_EX(NULL) report.
My question is what should be a router's initial current state for a
group. I feel it should be INCLUDE(NULL), please advise.
