Figure 4 IPv6 multicast format
The following describes the fields of an IPv6 multicast address, as shown in
0xFF—Contains the most significant eight bits 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1, which indicates that this address is an
IPv6 multicast address.

Reserved, set to 0.
•
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.)
•
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.)
•
When set to 0, it indicates that this address is an IPv6 multicast
address permanently-assigned by IANA.
•
When set to 1, it indicates that this address is a transient, or
dynamically assigned IPv6 multicast address.
