IP Connectivity

Which IPv6 address block forwards packets to a multicast address instead of a unicast address?

  • A 2000::/3
  • B FC00::/7
  • C FE80::/10
  • D FF00::/12
Explanation

In IPv6, multicast traffic uses the FF00::/8 space, and FF00::/12 is a multicast block within that range. A packet sent to an address in this block is intended for a multicast group, not a single unicast destination. By contrast, 2000::/3 is global unicast, FC00::/7 is unique local unicast, and FE80::/10 is link-local unicast.
