Global Address

A global address uniquely identifies a device on the Internet. It is similar to a “public IP address” in 
IPv4. A global unicast address starts with a 2 or 3. 

Unspecified Address

An unspecified address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 or ::) is used as the source address when a device does 
not have its own address. It is similar to “0.0.0.0” in IPv4.

Loopback Address

A loopback address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1) allows a host to send packets to itself. It is similar to 
“127.0.0.1” in IPv4.

Multicast Address

In IPv6, multicast addresses provide the same functionality as IPv4 broadcast addresses. 
Broadcasting is not supported in IPv6. A multicast address allows a host to send packets to all hosts 
in a multicast group. 

Multicast scope allows you to determine the size of the multicast group. A multicast address has a 
predefined prefix of ff00::/8. The following table describes some of the predefined multicast 
addresses. 

The following table describes the multicast addresses which are reserved and can not be assigned 
to a multicast group.
