Address Mapping of IPv6 Multicast Packets on Ethernet

以太网上IPv6多播数据包的地址映射

Abstract

摘要

When transmitting an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address, the IPv6 destination address is mapped to an Ethernet link-layer multicast address. This document clarifies that a mapping of an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address may in some circumstances map to an Ethernet link-layer unicast address.

传输具有多播目标地址的IPv6数据包时,IPv6目标地址映射到以太网链路层多播地址。本文档澄清了IPv6数据包与多播目的地地址的映射在某些情况下可能映射到以太网链路层单播地址。

1. Introduction
1. 介绍

"Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks" ([RFC2464], Section 7) specifies how an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address is mapped into an Ethernet link-layer address. This document extends this mapping to explicitly allow for a mapping of an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address into an Ethernet link-layer unicast address, when it is clear that only one address is relevant.

“通过以太网传输IPv6数据包”([RFC2464],第7节)规定了具有多播目标地址的IPv6数据包如何映射到以太网链路层地址。本文档扩展了此映射,以明确允许将具有多播目标地址的IPv6数据包映射到以太网链路层单播地址,前提是只有一个地址是相关的。

This mapping does not replace the mapping described in [RFC2464], Section 7. The determination of the unicast Ethernet link-layer address and the construction of the outgoing IPv6 packet are out of scope for this document.

此映射不替换[RFC2464]第7节中描述的映射。单播以太网链路层地址的确定和传出IPv6数据包的构造超出了本文档的范围。

3. Receiving IPv6 Multicast Packets
3. 接收IPv6多播数据包

An IPv6 node receiving an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address and an Ethernet link-layer unicast address MUST NOT drop the packet as a result of the use of this form of address mapping.

接收具有多播目标地址和以太网链路层单播地址的IPv6数据包的IPv6节点不得由于使用这种形式的地址映射而丢弃该数据包。
