What are three features of the IPv6 protocol?
(Choose three.)
A.
optional IPsec
B.
autoconfiguration
C.
no broadcasts
D.
complicated header
E.
plug-and-play
F.
checksums
Explanation:
An important feature of IPv6 is that it allows plug and play option to the network devices by
allowing them to configure themselves independently. It is possible to plug a node into an
IPv6 network without requiring any human intervention. This feature was critical to allow
network connectivity to an increasing number of mobile devices. This is accomplished by
autoconfiguration.
IPv6 does not implement traditional IP broadcast, i.e. the transmission of a packet to all
hosts on the attached link using a special broadcast address, and therefore does not define
broadcast addresses. In IPv6, the same result can be achieved by sending a packet to the
link-local all nodes multicast group at address ff02::1, which is analogous to IPv4 multicast to
address 224.0.0.1.
