Ah, OK.  I believe we are in agreement.  That is consistent with what I meant in my original statement: "if any device sends a packet to FF0X::MPL, it should be delivered to and processed by all devices subscribed to that address."  And to further clarify my statement, the delivery occurs with encapsulation if the source did not include an MPL Option.

In agreement here as well.

How about defining an MPL domain in this manner:

1) MPL multicast address: An IPv6 multicast address of arbitrary scope used by MPL forwarders to communicate with other MPL forwarders in the same scope zone of the IPv6 multicast address.

2) MPL domain: A connected set of interfaces subscribed to the same MPL multicast address within the scope zone of that IPv6 multicast address.

Comments/suggestions?
