Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1189:
--------------------------------

Question is should we hard-code the prefix (e.g. FF0e::) or make it configurable

> When we run a config with mcast_addr="239.5.5.5" in an IPv6 stack, then the channel won't be created due to the sanity check exception.
> Solution: map the IPv4 multicast address to an IPv6 equivalent, e.g.
> 239.5.5.5 --> FF0e::239.5.5.5, as outlined in [1]
