Difficulty: EasyIPv6 Addressing Concepts and Header Structure

Match each IPv6 address type or field name on the left with its corresponding prefix or functional description on the right.

  • Global Unicast Address2000::/3
  • Link-Local Addressfe80::/10
  • Multicast Addressff00::/8
  • Loopback Address::1/128

Answer

Global Unicast Address matches 2000::/3, Link-Local Address matches fe80::/10, Multicast Address matches ff00::/8, and Loopback Address matches ::1/128.
Global Unicast addresses start with 2000::/3, Link-Local addresses start with fe80::/10, Multicast addresses start with ff00::/8, and the Loopback address is represented by ::1/128.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the designated prefix block for each IPv6 address scope.
Global Unicast uses 2000::/3, Link-Local uses fe80::/10, Multicast uses ff00::/8, and Loopback uses ::1/128.
IPv6 standard address allocation defines specific prefix ranges to separate unicast, multicast, link-restricted, and host-internal operations.
