Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups for IPv4 multicast are 
identified by class D addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Host 
groups for IPv6 multicast are identified by the prefix ff00::/8.

The Multicast Forwarding Database (MFDB) holds the port membership information for all 
active multicast address entries. The key for an entry consists of a VLAN ID and MAC 
address pair. Entries can contain data for more than one protocol.
