Small correction needed regarding the multicast forwarding. Since we are talking about IPv6 multicast groups, which translate to 33:33:xx:xx:xx:xx MAC address, the router listener notification protocol is going to be MLD and not IGMP. Still there are switches which support MLD forwarding to prevent the network flooding.
