Detailed explanation-1: -You can use anycast addresses as destination addresses only. Packets addressed to an anycast address are delivered to the nearest interface identified by the anycast address, depending on the routing protocols used.
Detailed explanation-2: -An IPv6 anycast address is an address that is assigned to a set of interfaces that typically belong to different nodes. Anycast addresses are syntactically indistinguishable from unicast addresses, because anycast addresses are allocated from the unicast address space.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Anycast, one IP address can apply to many servers. Anycast DNS means that any one of a number of DNS servers can respond to DNS queries, and typically the one that is geographically closest will provide the response.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, 192.5. 5.241 is an anycasted ip address and 212.71. 233.103 is a unicast ip address. Both are ipV4 addresses.
