I see. Then I'd like to ask how large the admin-local scope is. Is
there any relationship between other scopes?

In fact, draft-ietf-ipngwg-scoping-arch-01.txt says as follows:

           o  for multicast scopes, scopes with lesser values in the
              "scop" subfield of the multicast address [RFC 2373,
              section 2.7] are smaller than scopes with greater values,
              with node-local being the smallest and global being the

According to this description, admin-local is larger than link-local
and smaller than site-local. Is my understanding correct? And if so,
is the definition really reasonable? (Although it depends on the
definition of "site").
