The way MLD works today, if you don't have a valid link-local address to use as the IP Source, you use the unspecified address instead. It sounds like (section 4.1) you want to change this? I assume so the router can unicast a response. I think this is a problem because until DAD completes for the link-local address it's really not right to accept packets sent to it. So your optimization can not apply to the link-local address, only subsequent addresses.
You say only the first MLD Report may be a report-requesting-response. Don't you mean the first one for each solicited-node multicast address? Or even more accurately (since some implementations allow an interface to be "reset" to that DAD etc is redone), just strike this sentence and leave the requirement as only unsolicited reports may request a response? What is your intent for retransmitted reports - are they not supposed to request a response?

Send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-daley-ipv6-mcast-dad-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
