2.7.1 Pre-Defined Multicast Addresses


      All Nodes Addresses:    FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
                              FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1


   The above multicast addresses identify the group of all IPv6 nodes,
   within scope 1 (node-local) or 2 (link-local).


      All Routers Addresses:   FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:2
                               FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2
                               FF05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2


   The above multicast addresses identify the group of all IPv6 routers,
   within scope 1 (node-local), 2 (link-local), or 5 (site-local).

2.8 A Node's Required Addresses


   A host is required to recognize the following addresses as
   identifying itself:


      o Its Link-Local Address for each interface
      o Assigned Unicast Addresses
      o Loopback Address
      o All-Nodes Multicast Addresses
      o Solicited-Node Multicast Address for each of its assigned
        unicast and anycast addresses
      o Multicast Addresses of all other groups to which the host
        belongs.


   A router is required to recognize all addresses that a host is
   required to recognize, plus the following addresses as identifying
   itself:


      o The Subnet-Router anycast addresses for the interfaces it is
        configured to act as a router on.
      o All other Anycast addresses with which the router has been
        configured.
      o All-Routers Multicast Addresses
      o Multicast Addresses of all other groups to which the router
        belongs.
