Done 😊

<tp>
Piling nouns in a  heap often does not work well in English and may be ambiguous.  The Abstract seems clear but I would not have expected it from the title, old or new.

Neighbor Discovery is not in the Abstract and I do not think it adds to the Title.  The Abstract has subscribe as a verb and that seems to me spot on.

The Abstract has 6LR without expansion but it does narrow the scope from all aspects of ND.

Hence I suggest something along the lines of 
Subscribing to IPv6 Broadcast and Multicast Addresses in a 6LN Network.
In passing, I saw recently the term 'nunicast' and thought it ugly and incomprehensible.  It got revised to non-unicast which I understood and then to multicast and broadcast.

Hi,

I think the naming needs to change now that it is also doing anycast, to something like "IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Multicast and Anycast Address Listener Subscription".

I think anycast is a different and distinct type of communication to multicast, and is in the middle between unicast and multicast:

i.e. unicast = 1 to 1; anycast = 1 to 1 of any/many; multicast = 1 to many;

Regards,
Mark.
