Detailed explanation-1: -Packets addressed to a multicast address are delivered to all interfaces identified by the multicast address, the same as in IPv4. It is also called a one-to-many address. You can always tell a multicast address in IPv6 because multicast addresses always start with FF.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the full range of multicast addresses is from 224.0. 0.0 to 239.255. 255.255. Since multicast addresses represent a group of IP devices (sometimes called a host group) they can only be used as the destination of a datagram; never the source.
Detailed explanation-3: -Permanent (0): These addresses, known as predefined multicast addresses, are assigned by IANA and include both well-known and solicited multicast. Nonpermanent (1): These are “transient” or “dynamically” assigned multicast addresses. 03-Oct-2017
