An <strong data-start="”289″" data-end="”315″">IPv6 multicast address identifies a <strong data-start="”329″" data-end="”352″">group of interfaces (usually on different devices).<br data-start="”384″" data-end="”387″"> When a packet is sent to a multicast address, <strong data-start="”433″" data-end="”451″">all interfaces that belong to that group <strong data-start="”478″" data-end="”489″">receive the packet.

IPv6 does <strong data-start="”513″" data-end="”544″">not use broadcast addresses like IPv4 does — instead, multicast addresses perform that role more efficiently.

IPv6 is a <strong data-start="”361″" data-end="”387″">128-bit address system, meaning it can provide approximately<br data-start="”425″" data-end="”428″"> <strong data-start="”428″" data-end="”462″">3.4 × 10³⁸ unique IP addresses — that’s <strong data-start="”472″" data-end="”491″">340 undecillion addresses!<br data-start="”502″" data-end="”505″"> This is a massive improvement over IPv4, which uses <strong data-start="”557″" data-end="”577″">32-bit addresses and can only provide about <strong data-start="”605″" data-end="”620″">4.3 billion unique addresses.

why do we need IPV6 is because of IPV4 address exhaustion, improve network efficiency ,and for better performance.

<strong data-start="”91″" data-end="”129″">IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the <strong data-start="”137″" data-end="”155″">newest version of the Internet Protocol — the system that allows devices to identify and communicate with each other over a network.

It was developed by the <strong data-start="”299″" data-end="”341″">IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to <strong data-start="”345″" data-end="”361″">replace IPv4, which is running out of addresses.
why do we need, is because of Pv4 Address Exhaustion, and the growth of IOT

what is mld in ipv6

[Andrew Ikpefua]

IPV6 has lasted long is because of the CGN(carrier Grade NAT), Private IP Addressing (RFC 1918),

Classless Inter-Domain Routing and (CIDR, Dynamic IP Assignment (DHCP). it is not sustainable is because of Address exhaustion, complex Network management. limited scalability and performance and compatibility issues.
