What is the broadcast address in IPv6 ?
Think of the answer before revealing the hidden one !
No hints - go straight to the answer ...
This is a tricky question ! If you did come up with a broadcast address in IPv6, then you are wrong !
There is no broadcast concept in IPv6!
Instead, IPv6 uses multicast that have different scopes, such as global, organisation-local, site-local or link-local (just few examples, list is longer).
Also, as review, IPv6 supports these types of addresses: unicast, multicast and anycast.
