Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 does not use type of address. Explanation: There is no concept of broadcast address in IPv6. Instead, there is an anycast address in IPv6 which allows sending messages to a group of devices but not all devices in a network. Anycast address is not standardized in IPv4.
Detailed explanation-2: -Broadcast has been removed because Multicast is better, simply put. Multicast didn’t exist when IPv4 was created. Switching was barely a thing as well, so unicast and broadcast were almost the same thing, in terms of how they caused the hubs on a LAN segment to behave. What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 addresses An Ipv6 address uses 128 bits as opposed to 32 bits in IPv4. Because an hexadecimal number uses 4 bits this means that an IPv6 address consists of 32 hexadecimal numbers. These numbers are grouped in 4’s giving 8 groups or blocks.
