frame, the device identifies work stations configured for Multicast sessions,
and which Multicast routers are sending Multicast frames.

ISATAP
Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protoco l . l.
ISATAP is an automatic overlay tunneling mechanism that uses the
underlying IPv4 network as a non-Broadcast/multicast access link layer for
IPv6. ISATAP is designed for transporting IPv6 packets within a site where a
native IPv6 infrastructure is not yet available.
