It's just semantics. Since all hosts join FF02::1, then it's effectively the same as 255.255.255.255. Some portions of ICMP ND still use this "broadcast" address, such as unsolicited neighbor advertisements, which are like gratuitous ARPs in IPv4.

There is none. :)
But we do have the all nodes mcast then.
Anybody care to comment what the real difference is here ?
The only one I find is that some protocols that used to work using broadcast, most notably ARP, now do not.
Comments ?
