UNICAST= point to point comunication, one source one destination
Multicast= Group comunication (static or dynamic group), one to All Group defined. others which is not in group can't view a packets.
Braodcast= one To All, one source All destination, for example television.
1) Unicasting means the communication between one host to specified one
2) Multicasting means the communication between one to some specified hosts
3) Broadcasting means the communication between one to all hosts
unicast =1 to1
multicast =1 to many
broadcast =1 to every
Hi,
In IP v4 the data can be sent from one host to other hosts in the following types:
1. Unicast: data sent from one host to one host in a subnet
2. Multicats: data sent from one to many hosts(not all) in a subnet
3. Broadcast: data sent from one host to all hosts in a subnet
In IP v6 the data can be sent from one host to other hosts in the following types:
1. Unicast: data sent from one host to one host in a subnet
2. Multicats: data sent from one to many hosts(not all) in a subnet
3. Anycast: data sent from one host to many hosts (not all and the nearest hosts) in a subnet
HTH
Best Regards,
Broadcast: Transmitting a packet that will be received by every device on the network Unicast: The sending of information packets to a single destination Multicast: Delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once and only create copies when the links to the destinations split.
Unicasting is one to one communication
Multicasting is one to many communication
Broadcasting is one to all communication and there is no security
Unicast : Data send to a specific computer using MAC address or Ip address
Multicast : Data send to many computer using MAC address or Ip address from an network
Broadcast : Data send to all computer from a network
