The routers could issue MLD queries either to addresses individually
[1] or to the link in general [2] and prune addresses on which nobody
is listening (following something like 3 tries to verify...).
[1] pick MACs with >= THRESHOLD IPv6 addresses associated, or timer-based
[2] should probably be a function of the total number of unique L2
neighbors as MLD Reports from everyone could be a lot of traffic
