 Email from Julien

 regarding usage of multicast DAO: in the following scenario:
   A
  /  \
 B  C

 if the purpose is to to allow B and C to talk to each other directly, the
 multicast DAO is equivalent to an unsolicited NA.

 In the scenarios like:

    A
   /  \
 B   C
       |
       D
 if the purpose is to have B talk to D through C (instead of A then C),
 then the multicast DAO (including destination prefix option) makes sense.
 Is this scenario needed by some applications?

 Best,
 Julien
