Unicast
Unicast transmission is defined as a type of transmission of data in which data is transferred from one node( single sender node) to another node( single receiver node). Unicast transmission is a type of one-to-one communication. The sender node is from one network whereas the receiver node belongs to another. Let’s understand the concept of unicast with the help of an example.
As shown in the above diagram, we have two networks. Network A and Network B. Network A has a source host A and network B has destination host B. The data is transmitted from host A to host B.
- Source IP Address: 10.1.2.3
- Destination IP Address: 20.12.2.4
Types of Broadcast Network
In a computer network, there are multiple devices known as nodes connected together. There are multiple ways through which we can transmit data between these connected nodes. Transmission can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. This transmission of data in the network is known as casting. Casting is of three types.
