1.  Introduction

   YANG [RFC6020] [RFC7950] is a data definition language that was
   introduced to model the configuration and running state of a device
   managed using network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241]
   or RESTCONF [RFC8040].  YANG is now also being used as a component of
   wider management interfaces, such as command-line interfaces (CLIs).

   This document defines a YANG data model that can be used to configure
   and manage Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast
   Listener Discovery (MLD) devices.  The protocol versions include
   IGMPv1 [RFC1112], IGMPv2 [RFC2236], IGMPv3 [RFC3376], MLDv1
   [RFC2710], and MLDv2 [RFC3810].  The core features of the IGMP and
   MLD protocols are defined as required.  Non-core features are defined
   as optional in the provided data model.

   The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network
   Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342].

1.1.  Terminology

   The terminology for describing YANG data models is found in [RFC6020]
   and [RFC7950], including:

   *  augment

   *  data model

   *  data node

   *  identity

   *  module

   The following abbreviations are used in this document and the defined
   model:

   IGMP:  Internet Group Management Protocol [RFC3376].

   MLD:  Multicast Listener Discovery [RFC3810].

   SSM:  Source-Specific Multicast service model [RFC3569] [RFC4607].

1.2.  Conventions Used in This Document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.
