However, this range of multicast address is special and will not be forwarded by an 802.1D-compliant switch.
12.
Solicited-node multicast addresses are used with IPv6 neighbor discovery to provide the same function as the Address Resolution Protocol ( ARP ) in IPv4.
13.
Every time a router sends an update, it sends it to the DR and BDR on the multicast address 224.0 . 0.6.
14.
The DR will then send the update out to all other routers in the area, to the multicast address 224.0 . 0.5.
15.
No IPv6 protocols are defined to use the all-hosts address, though; instead, they send and receive on particular link-local multicast addresses.
16.
The Ethernet frame used in LLDP has its destination MAC address typically set to a special multicast address that 802.1D-compliant bridges do not forward.
17.
The node also joins the all-hosts multicast address ff02 : : 1, so it will be able to receive " Neighbor Advertisements ".
18.
Similar to a unicast address, the prefix of an IPv6 multicast address specifies its scope, however, the set of possible scopes for a multicast address is different.
19.
Similar to a unicast address, the prefix of an IPv6 multicast address specifies its scope, however, the set of possible scopes for a multicast address is different.
20.
The particular multicast address used is selected from a range of address which have been reserved by the IEEE 802.1D standard which specifies the operation of switches used for bridging.
