OK for unicast. But multicast? I expected link-local multicast

This statement makes no sense. "link-local ... on all interfaces".
Isn't "link-local" supposed to mean that the address is unique and
available only on that interface (ethernet segment)? It's possible
to get the _same_ link-local address on multiple ethernet segments,
so in that case, where would you send the packet??? When you send
link-local packets, you must specify the link to which it is local.
