• IPv6 multicast addresses
Figure 4 IPv6 multicast format
The following describes the fields of an IPv6 multicast address, as shown in Figure 4:
{ 0xFF—The most significant eight bits are 11111111, which indicates that this address is an IPv6
multicast address.
{ Flags—The Flags field contains four bits, as shown in Figure 5 and described in Table 4.

tion
0 Reserved, set to 0.
R
• When set to 0, this address is an IPv6 multicast address without an
embedded RP address.
• When set to 1, this address is an IPv6 multicast address with an
embedded RP address (the P and T bits must also be set to 1).
P
• When set to 0, this address is an IPv6 multicast address not based on
a unicast prefix.
• When set to 1, this address is an IPv6 multicast address based on a
unicast prefix (the T bit must also be set to 1).
T
• When set to 0, this address is an IPv6 multicast address
permanently-assigned by IANA.
• When set to 1, this address is a transient, or dynamically assigned
IPv6 multicast address.
