IPv6 multicast addresses:
Figure 4
IPv6 multicast format
The following describes the fields of an IPv6 multicast address:
{
0xFF
—The most significant eight bits are 11111111, which means that this address is an IPv6
multicast address.
{
Flags
—The Flags field contains four bits.

Table 4
Flags field description
Bit
Description
0
Reserved, set to 0.
R
When set to 0, it means that this address is an IPv6
multicast address without an embedded RP address.
When set to 1, it means 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 means that this address is an IPv6
multicast address not based on a unicast prefix.
When set to 1, it means 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 means that this address is an IPv6
multicast address permanently-assigned by IANA.
When set to 1, it means that this address is a transient, or
dynamically assigned IPv6 multicast address.
