What is a defining characteristic of a global unicast IPv6 address?

It is globally routable It is only used on the local link It is used for multicast It is private and not routable

Correct Answer:

It is globally routable

Explanation:

Global unicast IPv6 addresses are designed to be reachable anywhere on the Internet. They are globally routable, assigned in blocks by regional registries, and intended for hosts that need public reachability across networks. This makes packets with these addresses forwardable across the global routing system. In contrast, an address used only on the local link isn’t routable beyond that single network segment, multicast addresses target multiple destinations, and private (ULA) addresses aren’t meant for global Internet reachability. So the defining trait is that it is globally routable.
