Multicast address
IPv6 multicast addresses listed in Table 1-2 are reserved for special purpose.
Table 1-2 Reserved IPv6 multicast addresses
Address Application
FF01::1 Node-local scope all nodes multicast address
FF02::1 Link-local scope all nodes multicast address
FF01::2 Node-local scope all routers multicast address
FF02::2 Link-local scope all routers multicast address
FF05::2 Site-local scope all routers multicast address
Besides, there is another type of multicast address: solicited-node address. A solicited-node multicast
address is used to acquire the link-layer address of a neighbor node on the same link, and is also used
for duplicate address detection (DAD). Each IPv6 unicast or anycast address has a corresponding
solicited-node address. The format of a solicited-node multicast address is as follows:
FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FFXX:XXXX
Where, FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF is permanent and consists of 104 bits, and XX:XXXX is the last 24 bits of an
IPv6 unicast or anycast address.
Interface identifier in IEEE EUI-64 format
An interface identifier is used to identify a unique interface on a link and is 64 bits long. An interface
identifier in IEEE EUI-64 format is derived from the link-layer address (MAC) of an interface. A MAC
address is 48 bits long and therefore, to get the interface identifier, the hexadecimal number FFFE
needs to be inserted in the middle of the MAC address (behind the 24 high-order bits). To ensure the
interface identifier obtained from a MAC address is unique, it is necessary to set the universal/local (U/L)
bit (the seventh high-order bit) to “1”. Thus, an interface identifier in IEEE EUI-64 format is obtained.

Introduction to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) uses five types of ICMPv6 messages to implement the
following functions:
z
Address resolution
z
Neighbor reachability detection
