Abstract
Techniques and devices for expressing multicast groups using Weave traits are described for generating a multicast address in which a wireless network device receives an application group identifier and hashes the application group identifier to generate a group identifier. The wireless network device concatenates a global identifier and a Weave fabric identifier, inserts the concatenated global identifier and the Weave fabric identifier into a network prefix field of a destination address and inserts the group identifier into a group identifier field of the destination address. The wireless network device sets the value of a plen field of the destination address to a value that indicates a length of the Weave fabric identifier and inserts the destination address into an Internet Protocol version 6 data packet.
