32.4.2 Layer 2 forwarding of IPv6 multicast packets

Layer 2 forwarding within VLANs receiving IPv6 multicast packets is performed based on MAC address, just as for IPv4 multicast packets. Layer 2 forwarding based on MLD snooping results is performed for all ports that receive MLD Report (membership request) messages whose IPv6 multicast address is mapped to the same MAC address.
