=> The solicited nodemcast address cannot be hard coded of course, so that's understandable. My question was why it needs to do it for the ALL Nodes mcast address, and you have explained that MLD is not needed for that. I agree ! We can make it clearer that the statement applies to the ALL Nodes mcast address, this was the intention anyway.
