IP Service

Difference between uni-cast, broadcast and multicast

Unicast: from one source to one destination i.e. One-to-One
Ex: Browsing a website. (Webserver is the sender and your computer is the receiver.)

Broadcast: from one source to all possible destinations i.e. One-to-All
Ex: A radio station broadcasts a signal to many listeners

Multicast: from one source to multiple destinations stating an interest in receiving the traffic i.e. One-to-Many
Ex: Windows Deployment Services (WDS) OS deployment traffic
