Status of this Memo
 This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are working
 documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its Areas,
 and its Working Groups. Note that other groups may also distribute
 working documents as Internet Drafts.
 Internet Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
 months. Internet Drafts may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by
 other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet
 Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working
 draft" or "work in progress."
 Please check the 1id-abstracts.txt listing contained in the internet-
 drafts Shadow Directories on nic.ddn.mil, nnsc.nsf.net,

 current status of any Internet Draft.
 This Internet Draft expires January 17, 1998.
1.0 Introduction
 This document defines the initial assignment of IPv6 multicast
 addresses. It is based on the "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture"
 [ADDARCH] and current IPv4 multicast address assignment found in
 <ftp://venera.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/multicast-addresses>.
 It adapts the IPv4 assignments that are relevant to IPv6 assignments.
 IPv4 assignments that were not relevant were not converted into IPv6
 assignments. Comments are solicited on this conversion.
 All other IPv6 multicast addresses are reserved.
 Sections 2 and 3 specify reserved and preassigned IPv6 multicast
 addresses.

INTERNET-DRAFT IPv6 Multicast Address Assignments July 16, 97
 [ADDRARCH] defines rules for assigning new IPv6 multicast addresses.
 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].
2. Fixed Scope Multicast Addresses
 These permanently assigned multicast addresses are valid over a
 specified scope value.

3.0 All Scope Multicast Addresses
 These permanently assigned multicast addresses are valid over all scope
 ranges. This is shown by an "X" in the scope field of the address that
 means any legal scope value.
 Note that, as defined in [ADDARCH], IPv6 multicast addresses which are
 only different in scope represent different groups. Nodes must join each
 group individually.
 The IPv6 multicast addresses with variable scope are as follows:
 FF0X:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 Reserved Multicast Address [ADDARCH]
 FF0X:0:0:0:0:0:0:100 VMTP Managers Group [RFC1045,DRC3]
