STD 100 Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3
 
Authors:B. Haberman, Ed..
Date:March 2025
Formats:txt
Obsoletes:RFC 3376
Updates:RFC 2236
Also:RFC 9776
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is the protocol used byIPv4 systems to report their IP multicast group memberships to neighboring multicast routers. Version 3 of IGMP (IGMPv3) adds support for source filtering, that is, the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets only from specific source addresses, or from all but specific source addresses, sent to a particular multicast address. That information may be used by multicast routing protocols to avoid delivering multicast packets from specific sources to networks where there are no interested receivers.

This document specifies IGMPv3. It is a revised version of RFC 3376 that includes clarifications and fixes for errata, and it is backward compatible with RFC 3376.

This document updates RFC 2236 and obsoletes RFC 3376.

 
STD 101 Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for IPv6
 
Authors:B. Haberman, Ed..
Date:March 2025
Formats:txt
Obsoletes:RFC 3810
Updates:RFC 2710
Also:RFC 9777
This document specifies the Multicast Listener Discovery version 2(MLDv2) protocol. 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.

This document updates RFC 2710 and obsoletes RFC 3810.

 
STD 102 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)
 
Authors:T. Mrugalski, B. Volz, M. Richardson, S. Jiang, T. Winters.
Date:January 2026
Formats:txt
Obsoletes:RFC 8415
Also:RFC 9915
This document specifies the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol forIPv6 (DHCPv6), an extensible mechanism for configuring nodes with network configuration parameters, IP addresses, and prefixes.Parameters can be provided statelessly or in combination with stateful assignment of one or more IPv6 addresses and/or IPv6 prefixes. DHCPv6 can operate either in place of or in addition to stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).

This document obsoletes RFC 8415. It incorporates verified errata and obsoletes the assignment of temporary addresses (the IA_TA option) and the server unicast capability (the Server Unicast option and UseMulticast status code).
