Hi,
You can find the sentence in RFC3810.
RFC3810
---
6. Protocol Description for Multicast Address Listeners
The link-scope all-nodes multicast address, (FF02::1), is handled as
a special case. On all nodes -- that is all hosts and routers,
including multicast routers -- listening to packets destined to the
all-nodes multicast address, from all sources, is permanently enabled
on all interfaces on which multicast listening is supported. No MLD
messages are ever sent regarding neither the link-scope all-nodes
multicast address, nor any multicast address of scope 0 (reserved) or
1 (node-local).
---
IMHO, All nodes don't touch All-Nodes multicast address by MLD.
All nodes treat all multicast addresses except All-Nodes multicast
address.
MLDv2 routers are the listeners of Solicited-node multicast address,
All-Routers and All-MLDv2-capable multicast routers at least.
Best Regards
