This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows the use of
Interface Identifiers (IIDs) to allocate multicast addresses. When a
link-local unicast address is configured at each interface of a node,
an IID is uniquely determined. After that, each node can generate its
unique multicast addresses automatically without conflicts. The
alternative method for creating link-local multicast addresses proposed
in this document is better than known methods like unicast-prefix-based
IPv6 multicast addresses. This memo updates RFC 3306. [STANDARDS TRACK]
