addressed to all-nodes multicast addresses, all-routers multicast

allocation protocol (MCAP), as described in [IP1394]. The allocation protocol (MCAP), as described in [IP1394].
implementors are encouraged to support this protocol when
transmitting high-rate multicast streams. The MCAP 'type' value for When a node wishes to receive multicast data addressed to other than
IPv6 group address descriptor is {to be assigned by IANA}. all-nodes multicast addresses, all-routers multicast addresses, and
solicited-node multicast addresses, it MUST confirm if the channel
mapping between a multicast group address and a channel number exists
using MCAP, as described in "9.3 Multicast Receive" in [IP1394].
The implementation of MCAP is optional for send-only nodes. A node
MAY transmit multicast data addressed to any multicast addresses into
the default broadcast channel regardless of the existing allocation
of the channel. If a node wishes to transmit multicast data on other
than the default channel, it MUST first confirm by MCAP whether or
not a channel number for the group address has been already
allocated. The implementors are encouraged to use this protocol when
transmitting high-rate multicast streams.
The MCAP 'type' value for IPv6 group address descriptor is {to be
assigned by IANA}.
