The most-significant four bits of a multicast IPv4 address are 1110, which indicates that this address is a

multicast address. Only 23 bits of the remaining 28 bits are mapped to a MAC address, so five bits of

the multicast IPv4 address are lost. As a result, 32 multicast IPv4 addresses map to the same IPv4

multicast MAC address. Therefore, in Layer 2 multicast forwarding, a device might receive some multicast

data destined for other IPv4 multicast groups. The upper layer must filter such redundant data.

2. IPv6 multicast MAC addresses

The most-significant 16 bits of an IPv6 multicast MAC address are 0x3333. The least-significant 32 bits

are the least-significant 32 bits of a multicast IPv6 address.

Multicast protocols

NOTE:

• Generally,

Layer 3 multicast

refers to IP multicast working at the network layer. The related multicast

protocols are Layer 3 multicast protocols, which include IGMP/MLD, PIM/IPv6 PIM, MSDP, and

MBGP/IPv6 MBGP.

Layer 2 multicast refers to

IP multicast working at the data link layer. The related

multicast protocols are Layer 2 multicast protocols, which include IGMP snooping/MLD snooping, and

multicast VLAN/IPv6 multicast VLAN.

• IGMP snooping, IGMP, multicast VLAN, PIM, MSDP, and MBGP are for IPv4, MLD snooping, MLD, IPv6

multicast VLAN, IPv6 PIM, and IPv6 MBGP are for IPv6.

• This section provides only general descriptions about applications and functions of the Layer 2 and

Layer 3 multicast protocols in a network. For more information about these protocols, see related

chapters.

Layer 3 multicast protocols

Layer 3 multicast protocols include multicast group management protocols and multicast routing

protocols.
