IPv6 Multicast Overview

IPv6 multicast enables a device to send packets to a group of hosts rather than to a
list of individual hosts. This chapter describes how to configure IPv6 multicast on
the E Series router; it contains the following sections:

IPv6 defines three types of addresses: unicast, anycast, and multicast. Each type of
address enables a device to send datagrams to selected recipients:
A unicast address enables a device to send a datagram to a single recipient.
An anycast address enables a device to send a datagram to one recipient out of
a set of recipients.
