SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MULTICAST ROUTING USING A MULTICAST LISTENER DISCOVERY PROXY IN HOME NETWORK

摘要

A multicast system for supporting a router function by using an IPv6(Internet Protocol version 6) MLD(Multicast Listener Discovery) proxy in a home network and a method therefor are provided to offer an IPv6 multicast router function by using the MLD proxy, and to construct an IPv6 multicast home network environment, thereby supplying multilateral communication and multicast-based services. A proxy manager(122) generates group membership information of a multicast host(110), and performs multicast communication by using an MLD message through an interface established according to a multicast request of the host(110). A group membership storage(121) stores the group membership information generated from the host(110).
