Domain 4 review.
Most CISSP candidates can define unicast. Fewer can explain why IPv6 quietly killed broadcast, or why anycast makes DDoS attacks harder to land.
Four IP communication patterns. Four different security postures. Domain 4 expects you to know all of them.
→ Unicast (one-to-one): clean audit trails, perfect for forensics, and where the bulk of your monitoring effort lives.
→ Broadcast (one-to-all): IPv4 only. Loud, leaky, and the reason DHCP snooping exists as a control.
→ Multicast (one-to-group): efficient by design, but explicit group membership is the security boundary you have to watch.
→ Anycast (one-to-nearest): same IP, many servers, BGP routes traffic to the closest one. It's what keeps DNS root servers and CDNs standing under attack.
