3.0 All Scope Multicast Addresses
These permanently assigned multicast addresses are valid over all
scope ranges. This is shown by an "X" in the scope field of the
address that means any legal scope value.
Note that, as defined in [ADDARCH], IPv6 multicast addresses which
are only different in scope represent different groups. Nodes must
join each group individually.
The IPv6 multicast addresses with variable scope are as follows:
