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
