Note
Host Extensions for IP Multicasting [
] specifies the extensions required of a host
implementation of the Internet Protocol (IP) to support multicasting. The multicast addresses are
in the range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Address assignments are listed below.
The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255, inclusive, is reserved for the use of
routing protocols and other low-level topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as
gateway discovery and group membership reporting. Multicast routers should not forward any
multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range, regardless of its TTL.
