Special Addresses
::1Loopback
::Unknown Address (similar to 0.0.0.0 in IPv4)

Prefixes
2000::/3Global unicast (Public)
FD00::/8Unique Local (Private)
FE80::/10Link Local
FF00::/8Multicast
FF02::/16Subnet only Multicast

Multicast Addresses (Subnet limited)
FF02::1All Hosts (replace broadcast)
FF02::2All routers
FF02::5,FF02::6OSPF
FF02::9RIP-2
