Ok, rather than beat a dead horse, let me see if I understand. The following prefixes are no longer going to be valid as there will not be any local addresses Prefixes: � FE8, FE9, FEA, and FEB are Link local addresses � FEC0 is the prefix of a site local address. Site local addresses are the equivalent of a private IPv4 address. � FF02::1 is address that multicasts to all nodes on the LAN. � FF02::2 is address that multicasts to all routers on the LAN.
Multicast Prefixes: � ffx1 : node-local, packets never lead the node � ffx2 : link-local, packets are never forwarded by routers (they stay on the link). � ffx5 : site-local, packets never leave the site. � ffx8 : org-local, packets never leave the organization. This are handled by routing protocols. � ffxe : global scope ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Erik Lindqvist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "EricLKlein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 2:03 PM Subject: Re: A use for site local addresses? > > > >> And it should be quite possible for anybody to use one /64 out of > >> their /48 for 'printers' and 'microwaves'.
