Explanation

An IPv6 unicast address identifies a single interface; common IPv6 unicast forms include link-local and the loopback address. IPv6 multicast addresses are taken from the FF00::/8 block and are used for one-to-many delivery. An IPv6 anycast address is a unicast-formatted address assigned to multiple interfaces, typically on routers, so traffic is delivered to the nearest member of the anycast group.
