[MBONED] 224.0.0.12

[Marshall Eubanks <tme at americafree.tv>]

In the IANA list

http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses/

224.0.0.12 is listed as

224.0.0.12 DHCP Server / Relay Agent [RFC1884]

This address is manifestly not assigned in RFC 1884 (which deals with  
IPv6), and a search on my part reveals only
that DHCP-AGENTS.MCAST.NET resolves to 224.0.0.12

Does anyone know what, if anything, this address is really used for,  
and on what authority ?

My suspicion at present is that this may be a lame delegation.

Marshall
