IPv6 host A is communicating with a remote IPv6 host B. Which device would send ICMPv6 redirect messages to inform that a better next-hop device should be used?
- Host A
- a router in the traffic path
- the switch connected to Host A
- Host B
- the switch connected to Host B
Explanation: When a router receives a data packet, it may analyze the best gateway device that the host should use. When there are multiple gateway devices available on a network, an IPv6 router will send ICMPv6 redirect messages to the sending host if it determines that there is a more efficient path for the transmissions.
