Some protocol such as IPv6 intensively use (link local) multicast. The reason is merely that, at the time such protocols were designed, some people believed, though they have been warned, that the Internet must operate over large clouds of public ATM networks, broadcast over which was impractical, which is true because ATM is impractical, and that ATM were multicast capable. By assuming large link layer, which violates the CATENET model, many protocols, including but not limited to IPv6 and IGMP, are damaged. Now, we can simply say, broadcast.
