Survey of IPv6 Addressing
So far, this chapter has focused on the IPv6 addresses that most closely match the concept of IPv4 addresses: the global unicast IPv6 addresses. This section now takes a broader look at IPv6 addressing, including some concepts that can be tied to older IPv4 concepts, and some that are unique to IPv6.
This section begins with a brief overview of IPv6 addressing. It then looks at unicast IPv6 addresses, along with a brief look at some of the commonly used multicast addresses. This section ends with a discussion of a couple of related protocols, namely, Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD).
