Subject: [magma] Multicast Router Discovery - consistency between v4 and v6

One of the IETF Last Call comments I received on this issue
had to deal with the differences in functionality of MRD
between IPv4 and IPv6.  IPv4 creates a new IGMP message
while IPv6 utilized bits in the Neighbor Discovery messages.

My plan is to overhaul the IPv6 in the following way:

1. Define a Multicast Router Advert message
2. Define a Multicast Router Solicit message
3. Define a Multicast Router Terminate message
4. Remove use of NDP messages
5. Separate message formats and message processing so that
   processing can be protocol agnostic
6. Define consistent format for options (if needed)

Are there objections to this approach?  Other features that
people feel need changing?

Regards,
Brian
