Represents an IPv6 network interface multicast address.

The mAddressOrigin field is set to either OT_ADDRESS_ORIGIN_THREAD if the multicast address is subscribed by OpenThread core or OT_ADDRESS_ORIGIN_MANUAL if it is subscribed manually using otIp6SubscribeMulticastAddress().

The multicast addresses subscribed by OpenThread core include addresses such as

  • link-local all nodes (ff02::01),

  • realm-local all nodes (ff03::01),

  • link-local all routers (ff02::02),

  • realm-local all routers (ff03::02),

  • realm-local all MPL forwarders (ff03::fc),

  • link-local all Thread nodes,

  • realm-local all Thread nodes.
