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?
