New submission from Hanu <hanu.choll...@gmail.com>:

In the ipaddress library documentation related to multicast.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html#ip-addresses

the is_multicast, refers to the v6 multicast RFC as 2373:
"is_multicast
True if the address is reserved for multicast use. See RFC 3171 (for IPv4) or 
RFC 2373 (for IPv6)."

Should that be referred to as RFC 2375 (for IPv6)? 
- RFC 2373 is "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture"
- RFC 2375 is "IPv6 Multicast Address Assignments"

Also for IPv4, the multicast is referred to RFC 3171, which is obsoleted by RFC 
5771 (IPv4 Multicast Address Assignments)
