Subject: [Autoconf] Link-local addresses and MANET link-local multicast groups

AUTOCONFers,

Do you plan the MANET router to join a link-local multicast group by 
using an address which is not a link-local address?

MANET IANA RFC5498 uses IPv4 and IPv6 link-local multicast addresses, 
for LL-MANET-Routers (224.0.0.109, FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:6D).

When discouraging the use of IP link-local addresses - how to you plan 
the MANET router to join a link-local multicast group?

(I doubt it is feasible to join a group a certain scope by using an
  address of a different scope).
