…ss block (0.0.0.0/8) to represent the local (i.e., "this") network. Likewise, [ RFC4291 ] reserves an IPv6 address block (fe80::/10) to represent link-scoped unicast addresses. Periodically, the IETF publishes an RFC that catalogs special-purpose address blocks. Currently, [ RFC5…

…for IPv6 June 2015 Interestingly enough, per the IPv6 addressing architecture [ RFC4291 ], IPv6 has three "all routers on this subnet" multicast addresses: ff01:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 = Interface-local scope ff02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 = Link-local scope ff05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 = Site-local scope [ RFC…
