IPv6 Multimedia Features

• Jumbograms

  • IPv6 will support packet sizes of up to 4 billion bytes
  • This will make the transmission of large packets easier and ensure that IPv6 will be able to make the best use of all available bandwidth over any transmission media

• Multicast support

  • IPv6 mandates support for multicast, a function that delivers messages to all hosts that register to receive it
  • This function makes it possible to deliver data simultaneously to large numbers of users for public or private consumption without wasting bandwidth broadcasting to the entire network
