Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anycast addressing is a unique feature of IPv6 that allows a packet to be sent to a single destination address, but that address is associated with multiple interfaces, typically on different nodes. The packet is delivered to the nearest interface with that address, based on the routing protocols used. This is useful in scenarios where a service needs to be provided by multiple nodes, and the client can connect to the nearest one for better performance or reliability. Multicast addressing (A) is used to send a packet to a group of devices, broadcast (C) is used to send a packet to all devices on a network, and unicast (B) is used to send a packet to a single device.
