-------------------------------------------------
Now, let's try a multicast address
(note:All Routers Addresses:
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:2
FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2
FF05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2
The above 3 multicast addresses identify the group of all IPv6 routers, within scope 1 (node-local), 2 (link-local), or 5 (site-local))
---------------------------
FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 node-local routers
# ping6 -c 3 ff01::1
PING ff01::1(ff01::1) 56 data bytes --- ff01::1
ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms
-------------------------------------------
Note: When pinging IPv6 link‐local address option "-I" is required, or it'll complain about "connect: Invalid argument".
---------------------------------------
FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 link-local routers
# ping6 -I sit1 -c 3 FF02::2
 PING FF02::2(ff02::2) from fe80::cac4:33da sit1: 56 data bytes --- FF02::2 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms
Of course ,“inet6 addr: fe80::cac4:33da/64 Scope:Link” is my sit1's link-local address. ::1 is the loopback address.
------------------------------------------
FF05:0:0:0:0:0:0:2 site-local router
# ping6 -c 3 FF05::2
connect: Cannot assign requested address
-------------------------------------
All Nodes Addresses: FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
 The above multicast addresses identify the group of all IPv6 nodes, within scope 1 (node-local) or 2 (link-local).
--------------------------
# ping6 -c 3 FF01::1
PING FF01::1(ff01::1) from ::1 sit1: 56 data bytes --- FF01::1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1998m
 ------------------------
#ping6 -I sit1 -c 3 FF02::1
 PING FF02::1(ff02::1) from fe80::cac4:33da sit1: 56 data bytes
 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.066 ms
64 bytes from fe80::ca26:6309: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=23.6 ms (DUP!)

64 bytes from fe80::ca26:6309: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=48.0 ms (DUP!)
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.054 ms
--- FF02::1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, +2 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 2001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.054/14.370/48.002/19.142 ms
Is this the way to find all IPv6 nodes in link-local if packets all not blocked and responded, not sure! And who's fe80::ca26:6309?

As Mozilla in my debian supports IPv6(I can't remember version), so just put

in mozilla's address bar and press Enter, u'll see a dancing kame :-)

Gossip:
In fact, I was editing this page in linux, when it was finished and I refreshed this page but only to find that the line feed has missing. Oh , it looks  badly since all sentences are all in one single paragraph. Let me think.... Is it the reason that in windows is“/0x0d/0x0a”but in linux is “/0x0a”(Not to mention “0x0d”in Mac)?As when I posted my article, the content was sent to csdn, but was processed by a ASP server running on windows platform,  so it spoiled my page.  Next time maybe I should write a shell script to try to solve this problem when I rebooted into linux again !
