When transmitting an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination
address, the IPv6 destination address is mapped to an Ethernet
link-layer multicast address. This document clarifies that a mapping of
an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination address may in some
circumstances map to an Ethernet link-layer unicast address.
