Unicast |
Broadcast |
Multicast |
|
In unicast, the data is delivered from one point to another |
In Broadcast, data is delivered from one point to all points |
In multicast, data is delivered from one to one or more points. |
|
It has only one sender and one receiver. |
It has only one sender but different receivers. |
It represents a group of devices in LAN meant for sending to specific hosts. |
|
If a message is to be delivered to different devices then multiple unicast is required. |
In this, the sender sends a specific broadcast address and all those devices that have the broadcast address can process it. |
Multicast uses IGMP to identify the group to which the message is to be sent. |
|
It is one to one technique. |
It is a one-to-many technique. |
It is one-to-many |
|
Example: Browsing a website |
Broadcasting audio message |
ARP request message. |
Multicast address:
Multicast address are those addresses by using these we can send information to a group of computers
The Multicast Mac address range is 01-00-5E-00-00-00 to 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FF.
Explanation:
Since 01:00:5E:FF:FF:FF does not fall in the range of multicast addresses which is given above.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.
