Reserved Multicast IP Addresses

Class D range of IP addresses are reserved for multicast IP addresses which ranges from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 which has 1110 as the 1st bits in 1st octet.

But within this range, there are several ip addresses which are reserved for some special purposes.
One such range is 224.0.0.0/24 which are reserved for routing protocols and cannot be routed by routers within subnets. This Block is called the Local Network Control Block.

I am ordering which I have come across so far..

Address(es)  Description 
224.0.0.0 Base Address (Reserved)
224.0.0.1 All Systems on this Subnet
224.0.0.2 All Routers on this Subnet/HSRPv1 Hello
224.0.0.4 DVMRP Routers
224.0.0.5 OSPFIGP OSPFIGP All Routers
224.0.0.6 OSPFIGP OSPFIGP Designated Routers
224.0.0.9 RIP2 Routers
224.0.0.10 EIGRP Routers
224.0.0.12 DHCP Server / Relay Agent
224.0.0.13 All PIM Routers
224.0.0.14 RSVP-ENCAPSULATION
224.0.0.18 VRRP
224.0.0.22 IGMPv3 all routers
224.0.0.102 HSRPv2 Hello

Also the 224.0.1.0/24 range is reserved for some applications. These IPs can be routed by routers within subnets. This block is called the Internetwork Control Block.
