Description Tommaso Pecorella 2014-08-30 12:24:26 UTC

DAM = 01. 48-bit Compressed Multicast Address (ffFS::00GG:GGGG:GGGG)
is mistakenly compressed as
DAM = 10. 32-bit Compressed Multicast Address (ffFS::00GG:GGGG)

I wonder how this has gone unnoticed for so long. Perhaps because Autogenerated addresses are mainly of the 3rd kind:
DAM = 11. 8-bit Compressed Multicast Address (ff02::GG)
