[j-nsp] EX series and ipv6 multicast / mld.. Doesn't forward with IGMP-SNOOPING enabled

[Chris Evans]

MLD and MLD Snooping are two different things, which match up exactly with
IGMP and IGMP-Snooping.. Unfortunately it seems that the EX platforms do not
have Snooping at this point in time.

Anyone know when its coming?
