IP multicasting is used to provide efficient multicast services to clients that may not be located on the same network segment. For instance, Windows Sockets applications can join a multicast group to participate in a wide-area conference.
Windows CE is level-2 (send and receive) compliant with RFC 1112.
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) enables you to manage subnet multicast membership for IPv6. MLD is a series of three Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) messages that replace the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) that is used for IPv4.
