Indranil,During the early development of IPv6, it was determined that there was a sufficient amount of similarity between the group management signaling and ICMPv6. In essence, ICMPv6 was meant to be the generic node-node signaling protocol for IPv6.

Hello All,I have a basic doubt. I see that MLD is encapsulated in ICMPv6 packet and it is not a separate protocol like IGMP is in IPV4. Could you please tell me for what reasons it has been designed like this?
