When transmitting an IPv6 packet to a multicast group, the
destination address in the link-layer header is typically set to the
corresponding mapped address of the destination address from the IP
header. However, it is not mandatory that the destination address in
the link-layer header is always a mapped multicast equivalent of its
IP destination address. There are various deployment scenarios where
there a need to transmit an IPv6 multicast message as an unicast
message on the link-layer. Unfortunately, the IPv6 specifications do
not clearly state this. This document explicitly clarifies this
point and makes such packet construct and transmission legal and
valid.
