FC00::/7 is used in private networks.

2001::1/127 is used for loopback addresses.

FE80::/10 is used for link-local unicast
|
|
|
FF00::/8 is used for IPv6 multicast.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A packet sent to a multicast group always has a unicast source address. A multicast address can never be the source address. Unlike IPv4, there is no broadcast address in IPv6. Instead, IPv6 uses multicast, including an all-IPv6 devices well-known multicast address and a solicited-node multicast address.
Detailed explanation-2: -The prefix 2001:db8::/32 is a special IPv6 prefix that is used specifically for documentation examples. You can also specify a subnet prefix, which defines the internal topology of the network to a router. The example IPv6 address has the following subnet prefix. The subnet prefix always contains 64 bits.
