234.xxx IP address - what is it

I've done honest UDP socket programming in the past, but have only ever heard of the usual reserved IP addresses:

127.0.0.1
192.168.xx
10.xxx

But from IP2Location it says multicast. Is 234.5.5.1 a real IP address or is it reserved?

Check out: Wikipedia - Multicast IP Address

In particular, the addressing section.
