p
tion
0 Reserved, set to 0.
R
• When set to 0, it indicates that this address is an IPv6 multicast
address without an embedded RP address.
• When set to 1, it indicates that 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, it indicates that this address is an IPv6 multicast
address not based on a unicast prefix.
• When set to 1, it indicates that 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, it indicates that this address is an IPv6 multicast
