Detailed Description

       A specialization of IPV6Address that provides address validation for multicast addresses.

       Whenever its value changes the new value is checked to be in the range from 224.0.0.1
       through 239.255.255.255. If it is not, an exception is thrown.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ()
       Create an Internet Multicast Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.

   ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast (const struct in6_addraddress)
       Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++
       IPV4Multicast object.

       Parameters:
           address struct of system used binary internet address.

   ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast (const char *address)
       Convert a null terminated ASCII multicast address string (example: '224.0.0.1') or
       multicast name string (example: 'sap.mcast.net') directly into a Common C++ IPV6Multicast
       object. Works like IPV6Address(const char*).

       Parameters:
