Normal Scope – Allows A, B and C Class IP address ranges to be specified including subnet masks, exclusions and RESERVATIONS. Each normal scope defined must exist within its own subnet.

Multicast Scope – USED to assign IP address ranges for Class D networks. Multicast scopes do not have subnet masks, reservation or other TCP/IP OPTIONS.

Multicast scope address ranges require that a Time To Live (TTL) VALUE be specified (essentially the number of routers a packet can pass through on the way to its destination).

Superscope – Essentially a collection of scopes grouped together such that they can be enabled and disabled as a single entity.
