Hi

With IP4 its usually fairly easy to find out all the nodes on a LAN -
you just ping the broadcast address and most will respond. But IP6
doesn't support broadcast addresses, only multicast, so is there some
standard multicast address I could use with ping6 to return all the
IP6 nodes? Or would I have to use another method entirely?

Thanks for any help
