The MLD implementation did not follow the RFC correctly when it is the Querier. The Querier should use a general query and get query messages from all members of all groups. This would be driven by a single timer per sub-nset since all groups are queried at once. Instead, the design used a Multicast Address Specific Query with one timer per group and ignores groups that we are not members of.
Similary, the MLDv1 compatibility timer should be a single, separate timer, not a per-group timer.
net/mld: Group may be NULL when sending a general query
net/icmpv6/icmpv6_input.c: Correct caculation of the ICMPv6 header address
net/mld/mld_query.c: Correct back test for group found.
net/mld/mld_report.c: Fix host vs. network order problem.
net/mld/mld_send.c: Correct the address used in sending the General Query. It should be the unspecified address in that case.
net/mld: Querying workaround. The MLD implementation does not follow the RFC correct when it is the Querier. The Querier should use a general query and get query messages from all members of all groups. This would be driven by a single timer since all groups are queried at once. Instead, the design currently uses a Multicast Address Specific Query with one timer per group and ignores groups that we are not members of.
net/mld: Fix a couple of places where I forgot to unlock the network in the previous commit.
net/mld: Implement 'Other Querier Present Timer'. This timer is used to revert to Querier mode if there is no other querier on the network. Also, fix some naming: The Done message is not just Version 1 but is used with Version 2 as well.
net/igmp: Back out some blind, backported improvements to IGMP from MLD. There are too many subtle differences in the protocols for this to be safe.
net/mld: More updates from comparison with roughly leveraged code and the MDL RFCs 2710 and 3810.
net/mld: More updated from comparison with roughly leveraged code and the MDL RFCs 2710 and 3810.
net/mld: Beginning comparison with roughly leveraged code and the MDL RFCs 2710 and 3810.
include/nuttx/net/ipv6ext.h: Fix some terminology: Hop-by-hop, not Hop-to-hop or Hop2hop.
net/devif/ipv6_input.c and net/icmpv6/icmpv6_input.c: Add logic to skiip over the variable number of IPv6 extension headers that may be present between the IPv6 header and the transport layer header. The extension headers are simply ignored. This is necessary because with MLD, certain incoming messages may have, at a mimimum, a Router Alert Hop-by-hop extension header.
net/inet/ipv6_setsockopt.c: Implement the IPV6_JOIN_GROUP and IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP socket options.
net/mld: The MLD logic now compiles and is much less toxic. It still is not a proper MLD implementation: (1) It is basically a port of IGMP, tweaked to work with IPv6 and ICMPv6 MLD messages, (2) it needs a proper analysis and comparison with RFC 3810, and (3) it is completely untested. For this reason, it will remain EXPERIMENTAL for some time.
net/mld: Add some missing macros, more fixes related to IPv6 vs IPv4 types,
net/mld: More compilation cleaning. Most fixups for IPv6 vs IPv4 types.
net/mld: Hook crudely converted .c files into build system and resolve a few of the many, many compilation/design problems.
net/mld: Add support for MLD statistics.
net/mld: Hook in MLD poll and packet transmission logic.
net/mld: Change references to IPv4 definitions to IPv6 definitions; Remove mld_input() since MLD piggybacks on ICMPv6 input. Add functions to catch MLD messages dispatched by ICMPv6 input logic.
net/mld: As a starting point, copy all net/igmp/*.c files to net/mld/. and change all occurrences of igmp (or IGMP) to mld (or MLD).
