Research direction

Start with Python's ipaddress module and inspect the is_global implementation and its existing tests. Reproduce the behavior for multicast addresses and networks, then compare the expected global-status semantics with the current results. Done means the relevant multicast cases return the intended value and the regression coverage passes.
