Hi,

The following is stated in the draft:

5.1.2.2.  Destination Address

   The IPv6 multicast address as assigned by the IANA for VRRP is:

   FF02:0:0:0:0:0:XXXX:XXXX

   This is a link-local scope multicast address.  Routers MUST NOT
   forward a datagram with this destination address regardless of its
   Hop Limit.



So the address is not fixed? A master virtual router can send adv to any
addr in this range, and a backup virtual router has to join all
multicast groups within this range? This doesn't sounds quite clear to me.

Can someone explain a bit to me? Thanks.
