Maybe I missed something here. R will send the packet addressed to ff02::blah to whatever host it received the MLD Report message from for ff02::blah. So, H2 would have to transmit an MLD Report to R in order to receive the multicast packet. In traditional wired p2p networks, MLD/IGMP are still used, why would they not be used in a 3G p2p network?
