Introduction to IPv6 multicast address seen inside the MLDv2 protocol, ff02: fff1: 8d0d, where the three last bytes are the same as in the MAC address. From the following messages, which we will discuss shortly, we can see that the actual link-local address a host wants to configure into use is fe80 : ba27 ebff fef1 : 8d0d. In packet five, the IP stack subscribes to the Solicited-node multicast group by sending an MLDv2 'Multicast Listener Report v2' message to 'All MLDv2-capable routers' multicast address (Section 3.5.1). It is important to note that the IPv6 packet sent to the IPv6 multicast address is also sent to Ethernet layer's multicast address 33 :33:00:00:00:16, as per Section 7 of the RFC 2464 [99]. The subsequent multicast messages of this example are also sent to the Ethernet multicast address starting with 33 33:, with the bottom 48 bits changing according to a destination IPv6 multicast address. The Ethernet header indicates the protocol type of the transported packet, which in this case is 0x88dd, i.e. IPv6. While the Etherne
