Hi.

I used multicast(ipv4) by erlang, my code is below.

gen_udp:open(?MULTICAST_PORT, [binary, {reuseaddr, true}, {ip, ?MULTICAST_ADDR}, {add_membership, {?MULTICAST_ADDR, Address}}, multicast_ttl, ?MULTICAST_TTL}]).

?MULTICAST_ADDR and Address is both ipv4 address.
It is working good.

and now, I will use multicast by ipv6,
but above sentence is not work. (I changed the above address to ipv6 address)
this is the error code: {error,badarg}.

so, I saw the source, and follow the inet.erl -> prim_inet.erl.
and, I founded that the function prim_inet:is_sockopt_val() is not work. (error is caused "add_membership" option)

there is a code in prim_inet.erl:
type_value_2(ip,{A,B,C,D}) when ?ip(A,B,C,D) -> true;

but I think we need a code like this:
type_value_2(ip, {A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H}) when ?ip6(...) -> true;


Do you have any experience using ipv6 multicast?
How can I use erlang for this case?

Thank you for your reply.
