Final answer:
No, a Neighbor Solicitation Message is not sent via a broadcast message. It is multicast to the Solicited Node Multicast Address.
Step-by-step explanation:
No, when a Neighbor Solicitation Message is sent to the Solicited Node Multicast Address, it is not sent via a broadcast message.
Neighbor Solicitation is a message used in the IPv6 network protocol to determine the link layer address of a neighbor on the same network segment. When a Neighbor Solicitation Message is sent, it is multicast to the Solicited Node Multicast Address, which is a specific multicast address constructed from the IPv6 address of the destination node. This multicast address is used to limit the scope of the message to only the nodes that need to receive it, reducing network traffic. Therefore, it is not broadcasted to all nodes in the network.
In contrast, a broadcast message is sent to all nodes in the network, regardless of whether they need to receive the message or not.
