Perchè il mio firewall mi segna sempre sto indirizzo?

Precisamente 224.0.0.1

Sul RFC 3171 ho trovato questo di cui faccio un sunto :

Definition of Current Assignment Practice

Unlike IPv4 unicast address assignment, where blocks of addresses are
delegated to regional registries, IPv4 multicast addresses are
assigned directly by the IANA. Current assignments appear as follows
[IANA]:

224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 (224.0.0/24) Local Network Control Block
224.0.1.0 - 224.0.1.255 (224.0.1/24) Internetwork Control Block
224.0.2.0 - 224.0.255.0 AD-HOC Block
224.1.0.0 - 224.1.255.255 (224.1/16) ST Multicast Groups
224.2.0.0 - 224.2.255.255 (224.2/16) SDP/SAP Block
224.252.0.0 - 224.255.255.255 DIS Transient Block
225.0.0.0 - 231.255.255.255 RESERVED
232.0.0.0 - 232.255.255.255 (232/8) Source Specific Multicast
Block
233.0.0.0 - 233.255.255.255 (233/8) GLOP Block
234.0.0.0 - 238.255.255.255 RESERVED
239.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 (239/8) Administratively Scoped
Block

In pratica è ad uso del firewall stesso???

[CH1CC0]

Il MULTICAST è una subnet di servizio.

L'indirizzo in questione si riferisce a questo servizio

224.0.0.1 All Systems on this Subnet

(in pratica ha la funzione di Broadcast)

Questa è una breve spiegazione di una parte della subnet in oggetto (il multicast va dal 224.0.0.0 al 239.255.255.255)

The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255, inclusive,
is reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level
topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery
and group membership reporting. Multicast routers should not forward
any multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range,
regardless of its TTL.
