Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
|
|
|
Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses.
|
|
|
. This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
|
|
|
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.

Detailed explanation-1: -Anycast addresses identify multiple interfaces, which is the same as multicast; however, the big difference is that the anycast packet is only delivered to one address, the first one it finds defined in the terms of routing distance. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 uses multicast addresses to accomplish a lot of the functionality performed by broadcast addresses in IPv4. Anycast addresses are addresses that are shared by multiple system. Anycast addresses are generally used to find network devices like routers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true when describing a unicast address? Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
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.
