This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : A Method for Generating Link Scoped IPv6 Multicast
Addresses
Author(s) : J. Park, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-09.txt
Pages : 7

This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows for the use
of Interface Identifiers (IIDs) to allocate multicast addresses.
When a link-local unicast address is configured at each interface
of a node, an IID is uniquely determined. After that, each node
can generate their unique multicast addresses automatically without
conflicts. Basically, this document proposes an alternative method
for creating link-local multicast addresses over a known method
like unicast-prefix-based IPv6 multicast addresses. It is preferred
to use this method for link-local scope rather than unicast-
prefix-based IPv6 multicast addresses. This memo update RFC3306.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
