Episode 47: IPv6 Address Types — Know the Modes of Delivery

20 Jul 2025

Description

This episode introduces the different types of IPv6 addresses, which define how communication occurs within an IPv6-enabled network. The three main categories are unicast, which delivers data to a single interface; multicast, which delivers data to multiple interfaces; and anycast, which routes to the nearest member of a group. Each type has a distinct role and is tested on the exam to ensure you can match addresses to their proper use.Examples are provided to reinforce learning. A unicast address may identify a workstation, multicast may distribute streaming content, and anycast might direct DNS queries to the closest available server. The episode also explains special address types like link-local and loopback, which are essential for connectivity and diagnostics. By recognizing these categories and their functions, you gain the precision needed to interpret IPv6 scenarios in both exam questions and professional environments. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber audio courses, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
