Q

Multicast

A

IPv6 address that identifies multiple hosts, thus all will receive the packet sent

from Wikipedia: In computer networking, multicast is group communication where data transmission is addressed to a group of destination computers simultaneously. Multicast can be one-to-many or many-to-many distribution. Multicast should not be confused with physical layer point-to-multipoint communication.

Q

Anycast

A

IPv6 address that has been assigned to multiple nodes, a packet will be delivered to one of them

from Wikipedia: Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops. Anycast routing is widely used by content delivery networks such as web and name servers, to bring their content closer to end users.

Q

1101-Chap2-20: What network connectivity device does not forward broadcast messages, thereby creating multiple broadcast domains?

Hub
Switch
Bridge
Router

A

Router

Routers break up broadcast domains. Broadcast traffic from one port of a router will not get passed to other ports, which greatly reduces network traffic. Bridges, hubs and swithces will all forward broadcast packets
