Treffer: IPv6 – Adressierungssystem der Zukunft (7).

The article discusses the role of multicast in the IPv6 protocol, which replaces traditional broadcast communication. IPv6 uses multicast addresses that begin with 0xFF to specifically target groups of devices, which is crucial for many functions such as configuration and service distribution. The structure of multicast addresses includes various parts, including indicators, flags, and scopes, which define the validity range of the addresses. The article also explains specific multicast scopes, such as node-local and link-local, as well as their application in network communication. In conclusion, it emphasizes that IPv6, with its modern features, provides an important foundation for future technologies. [Extracted from the article]
