[magma] One question on MLD

[Indranil Bhattacharya <myselfindranil at gmail.com>]

Hello,

 

        I have a question. Should a host/router send MLD reports for All-hosts, All-routers and solicited-node Multicast address? These groups are joined by Ipv6. In RFC 3376 I see the below paragraph:

 

Section 5: Description of the Protocol for Group Members

==========================================

"The all-systems multicast address, 224.0.0.1, is handled as a special case.  On all systems -- that is all hosts and routers,

  including multicast routers -- reception of packets destined to the all-systems multicast address, from all sources, is permanently

  enabled on all interfaces on which multicast reception is supported.  No IGMP messages are ever sent regarding the all-systems

  multicast address."

 

but in RFC 3810 I do not see anything mentioned. Could anyone answer this please?

 

Thanks,

Indranil
