IPv6 multicast: [41] The low 32 bits an Ethernet address for IPv6 multicast traffic are the low 32 bits of the multicast IPv6 address used. [ 40 ] : §2.3.1 For example, IPv6 multicast traffic using the address ff02::d uses the MAC address 33-33-00-00-00-0D , and traffic to ff05::1:3 goes to the MAC address 33-33-00-01-00-03 .
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has reserved the IPv4 address block 169.254.0.0 / 16 (169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255) for link-local addressing. [1] The entire range may be used for this purpose, except for the first 256 and last 256 addresses (169.254.0.0 / 24 and 169.254.255.0 / 24), which are reserved for future use and must not be selected by a host using this dynamic ...
Any host wishing to participate in 6over4 over a given IPv4 network can set up a virtual IPv6 network interface. The link-local address is determined as follows : it starts with fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000, or fe80:: for short, the lower-order 32 bits to the binary value must be that of the IPv4 address of the host.
IPv6 addresses are assigned to organizations in much larger blocks as compared to IPv4 address assignments—the recommended allocation is a / 48 block which contains 2 80 addresses, being 2 48 or about 2.8 × 10 14 times larger than the entire IPv4 address space of 2 32 addresses and about 7.2 × 10 16 times larger than the / 8 blocks of IPv4 ...
This results in the following well-known practical multicast addresses for SSDP: 239.255.255.250 (IPv4 site-local address) ff02::c (IPv6 link-local) ff05::c (IPv6 site-local) Additionally, applications may use the source-specific multicast addresses derived from the local IPv6 routing prefix, with group ID c (decimal 12).

NORM, NRL, archived from the original on 2008-10-07 – Nack-Oriented Reliable Multicast from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, with an open source C++ implementation; ecmh (Easy Cast du Multi Hub), Unfix – IPv6 Multicast Daemon, allows IPv6 multicast to be used without the need for PIM; MRD6 – IPv6 multicast routing daemon
A solicited-node multicast address is an IPv6 multicast address used by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol to determine the link layer address associated with a given IPv6 address, which is also used to check if an address is already being used by the local-link or not, through a process called DAD (Duplicate Address Detection). The solicited-node ...
