Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The IPv6 address achitecture does not include which of the following address types?

A	Multicast.
B	Anycast.
C	Unicast.
D	Broadcast.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -C) Broadcast Addressing . IPv6 does not implement traditional IP broadcast, and therefore does not define broadcast addresses.

Detailed explanation-2: -In IPv6, multicast addresses serve the same purpose as broadcasts do in IPv4. The difference between IPv6 anycast and multicast is that packets sent to an anycast IPv6 address are delivered to one of several interfaces, while packets sent to a multicast IPv6 address are delivered to all of many interfaces.

Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 does not implement traditional IP broadcast, and therefore does not define broadcast addresses. In IPv6, the same result can be achieved by sending a packet to the link-local all nodes multicast group which is analogous to IPv4 broadcast.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unicast-A network layer identifier for a single interface of IPv6 enabled node. Multicast-A network layer identifier for a set of interfaces, belonging to different IPv6 enabled nodes. Anycast-A network layer identifier for a set of interfaces, belonging to different IPv6 enabled nodes. More items
