Appendix C. Reserved Multicast Addresses

The following is a list of the most recent reserved multicast addresses at the time this book was written. The list is taken directly from ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/multicast-addresses. For the most recent list, consult that site.

Internet Multicast Addresses

Host Extensions for IP Multicasting [RFC 1112] specifies the extensions required of a host implementation of the Internet Protocol (IP) to support multicasting. The multicast addressess are in the range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Current addresses are listed in the following text.

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.

There is a concept of relative addresses to be used with the scoped multicast addresses. These relative addresses are listed here:

These addresses are listed in the Domain Name Service under MCAST.NET and 224.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

Note that when used on an Ethernet or IEEE 802 network, the 23 low-order bits of the IP Multicast address are placed in the low-order 23 bits of the Ethernet or IEEE 802 net multicast address 1.0.94.0.0.0. See the section on "IANA ETHERNET ADDRESS BLOCK."
