The socket option will be enabled by default to ensure current behaviour is not changed. This is the same for the IPv4 version. A socket bound to in6addr_any and a specific port will receive all traffic on that port. Analogue to IP_MULTICAST_ALL, disable this behaviour, if one or more multicast groups were joined (using said socket) and only pass on multicast traffic from groups, which were explicitly joined via this socket. Without this option disabled a socket (system even) joined to multiple multicast groups is very hard to get right. Filtering by destination address has to take place in user space to avoid receiving multicast traffic from other multicast groups, which might have traffic on the same port. The extension of the IP_MULTICAST_ALL socketoption to just apply to ipv6, too, is not done to avoid changing the behaviour of current applications.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
