[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: remove reference to non-existent "igmp-ipv6" protocol
IGMP is used on IPv4 networks set setup multicast group memberships. On IPv6, this job is done by Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD), which uses ICMPv6 packets rather than using its own IP protocol number. The nwfilter documentation lists "igmp-ipv6" as one of the possible protocols, but this is ignored (and stripped from the xml). This patch removes that erroneous reference.

I think you want to remove IGMP from the section title as well. -- Andrea Bolognani Software Engineer - Virtualization Team
