IPv6 Multicast Addresses
There are two main types of Internet Protocol Version 6. That are defined as fixed scope and variable scope multicast addresses.
The IPv6 multicast addresses are different from the unicast addresses due to the value of the high-order octet present in the addresses: the given value [0xFF (binary 11111111)] gives us the location of a multicast address; the value other then this syntax identifies the address of a unicast address. Fixed Scope Multicast Address is as follows:
The addresses quoted here are permanently assigned to the IPv6, but up to some specific extent of the scope value.
Node-Local Scope
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 the address of all nodes FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 the address of all routers
Link-Local Scope
FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 the address of all nodes FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 the address of all routers FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:3 Unassigned
Site-Local Scope
FF05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 the address of all routers FF05:0:0:0:0:0:0: FB mDNSv6
Variable Scope Multicast Addresses
The multicasts addresses are applicable for all types of scope ranges that have a valid syntax. IPv6 multicast addresses that are only vary in the scope level are for representing different groups. Remember that the nodes should join each group.
The most used multicast addresses are listed below:
