Q:

Which of the following is true when describing a multicast address?

A) Packets addressed to a multicast address are delivered to a single interface B) packets are delivered to all interfaces identified with the address. This is also called a one-to-many address
C) A multicast address identifies multiple interfaces and is delivered to only one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many D) These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes,but they are almost globally unique, so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) packets are delivered to all interfaces identified with the address. This is also called a one-to-many address

Explanation:

Packets addressed to a multicast address are delivered to all interfaces identified with the multicast address, the same as in IPv4. It is also called a one-to-many address. You can always tell a multicast address in IPv6 because multicast addresses always start with FF.

Q:

Explain the difference between the forwarding of a unicast IP packet and the forwarding of a multicast IP packet.

Answer

Unicast IP packets are forwarded based on the destination IP address. Multicast packets are forward based on the source IP address. If a multicast packet is received on the interface used to send a unicast packet back to the source, the multicast packet is forwarded to multicast neighbors. If the multicast packet is received on an interface that would not be used to send a unicast IP packet back to the source, the packet is discarded.
