Title: Link Scoped IPv6 Multicast Addresses
State: Pending
Authors: Jung-Soo Park
Group: IP Version 6 Working Group (ipv6)

This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows for the use of
Interface Identifiers (IIDs) to allocate multicast addresses. When a
link-local unicast address is configured at each interface of a node, an
IID is uniquely determined. After that, each node can generate their unique
multicast addresses automatically without conflicts. Basically, this
document proposes an alternative method for creating link-local multicast
addresses over a known method like unicast-prefix-based IPv6 multicast
addresses. It is preferred to use this method for link-local scope rather
than unicast- prefix-based IPv6 multicast addresses. This memo update
RFC 3306.
