Multicast addresses are a type of IP address that can be used for one–to–many communication on an IPv4 or IPv6 network. Multicast addresses are expressed as a range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 for IPv4 networks, and from FF00::/8 for IPv6 networks. The purpose of multicast addressing is to send data from one source to multiple destinations efficiently and without excessive network traffic.
