+Attempts to discover available IPv6 hosts on the LAN by sending an MLD (multicast listener discovery) query to the link-local multicast address (ff02::1) and listening for any responses.  The query's maximum response delay set to 0 to provoke hosts to respond immediately rather than waiting for other responses from their multicast group.
