> Abstract:
>   This document updates RFC 8505 to enable a listener to register an
>   IPv6 anycast or and subscribe to an IPv6 multicast address; the draft
>   updates RFC 6550 (RPL) to add a new Non-Storing Multicast Mode and a
>   new support for anycast addresses in Storing and Non-Storing Modes.
>   This document extends RFC 9010 to enable the 6LR to inject the
>   anycast and multicast addresses in RPL.
