IPv6 Addresses (RFC 4291)<br />

● IPv6 Addresses are longer<br />

● 128 bit = 16 byte<br />

● 2 128 addresses ~ 3.4×10 38<br />

● Three types of addresses<br />

● Unicast: An identifier for a single interface.<br />

● Anycast: An identifier for a set of interfaces. A packet sent to an anycast address<br />

is delivered to the “nearest” one.<br />

● Multicast: An identifier for a set of interfaces. A packet sent to a multicast<br />

address is delivered to all interfaces identified by that address.<br />

● There are no broadcast addresses in IPv6!<br />

● Their function are superseded by multicast addresses<br />
