Subject:   all router address "ff02::02"

Hi,
I found that in the rtadvd daemon code there is a function which is called to join to the all router multicast address( ff02::02).

My doubt is if rtadvd is disabled for a router then whether it will join the all routers multicast list?

one reason i find for such a implementation is that joining the all router multicast address (ff02::02) is useless for a router if it is not running rtadvd. 

Is my understanding correct? or is the router joins the all router multicast address at some other place other than rtadvd?

Kindly reply.
regards
ravi prasad
