When we use the internet, we visit different websites to do different things like watching videos, reading articles or messaging friends. But did you know that these websites have their own "addresses" so that our devices can find them?
These website addresses are called IP addresses, and they are made up of a bunch of numbers that tell our devices where to find the website we want to visit. But just like houses can have different addresses, websites can have different IP addresses too!
Now, here's where IPv6 intermediation comes in. Sometimes, websites want to have multiple IP addresses or "homes" so that their visitors can find them easily no matter what device they're using. But having multiple IP addresses can be tricky and expensive.
That's where IPv6 intermediation comes in. It acts like a middleman between the website and the visitor, making it easier for the visitor to find the website no matter how many IP addresses it has. Think of it like a translator that helps two people who speak different languages understand each other.
So, when we visit a website that uses site multihoming by IPv6 intermediation, our devices are able to find that website easily, even if it has multiple "homes" or IP addresses. And we can enjoy using the website without worrying about which address to use!
