Address Mapping of IPv6 Multicast Packets on Ethernet

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Standard
Pages: 3
Abstract: When transmitting an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address, the IPv6 destination address is mapped to an Ethernet link-layer multicast address. This document clarifies that a mapping of an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address may in some circumstances map to an Ethernet link-layer unicast address. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
