What are class D and E networks used for?
CH 7 pg 211
Class D (224– 239) is used for multicast addresses and Class E (240– 255) for scientific purposes.
What is the multicast broadcast range? CH 7 pg 211
multicast range is from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface, same as in IPv4. For load balancing, multiple interfaces can use the same address.
CH 7 pg 219
Unicast
These are your typical publicly routable addresses, and they’re used the same way globally unique addresses are in IPv4. CH 7 pg 219
