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,
   nic.nordu.net, ftp.nisc.sri.com, or munnari.oz.au to learn the
   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.

   [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].

   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:
