What are the distinct functions of layer 2 switching that increase available bandwidth on the network?1. Address learning2. Routing3. Forwarding and filtering4. Creating network loops5. Loop avoidance6. IP addressing
Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses.
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.
This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
