Appendix E: Multicast and Broadcast Addresses

The following list of IP protocol identifiers comprises information from various sources, including RFC 1700 and some personal observations. Any errors or omissions are therefore my own. The list provided here is not exhaustive. For a complete up-to-date list of port assignments see the IANA URL below:

E.1 IP multicast addresses

Host Extensions for IP Multicasting (RFC 1112) specifies the extensions required of a host implementation of IP to support multicasting. The multicast addresses are in the range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. Current addresses are listed below. Note that the range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255 is reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery and group membership reporting. Multicast routers should not forward any multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range, regardless of its TTL.
