What does the beginning of a multicast address look like, if it is used for embedded RP?
A.

B.

C.

D.
Embedded RP does not use any special IPv6 address.
Explanation:
Embedded RP defines an address allocation policy in which the address of the RP is encoded in
an IPv6 multicast group address. This allows an easy deployment of scalable inter-domain
multicast and simplifies the intra-domain multicast configuration as well. IPv6 Multicast group
addresses embedded with RP information start with ff70::/12 where the flag value of 7 means
embedded RP.
