IPv6 supports three address types: unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many), and anycast (one-to-nearest). Anycast (A) allows a packet to be delivered to the nearest of a group of devices sharing the same address. Multicast (C) replaces and expands the role of broadcast in IPv4. Notably, IPv6 does NOT support broadcast - it was deliberately eliminated in favor of multicast to reduce unnecessary traffic. 'Podcast' and 'allcast' are not IPv6 addressing terms.
