Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Global Unicast Addresses are the IPv6 equivalent of IPv4 public addresses and are used for devices that need to communicate over the internet. They are designed to be globally routable, making them the appropriate choice for this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Link-Local Addresses are used for communication between nodes on the same link and are not routable on the public internet.
- B. Incorrect.
Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) are private IPv6 addresses used for local communication within an organization and are not routable on the public internet.
- C. Correct.
Global Unicast Addresses are globally unique IPv6 addresses that are routable on the public internet, making them the correct choice for this scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Anycast Addresses are used for one-to-nearest communication, where multiple devices share the same address, but they are not specifically designed for general public internet routing.
