Lec-20: Unicast, Broadcast & Multicast in Computer Networks
Types of Casting in Computer Networks
Introduction to Casting Types
The discussion begins with an overview of the types of casting in computer networks, specifically unicasting, broadcasting, and multicasting.
Emphasis is placed on understanding these concepts for theoretical questions in exams like UGC NET and GATE.
Unicasting
Unicasting is defined as one-to-one communication where data is sent from one host to another.
An example illustrates a scenario where host M1 sends data to host M2 within a network (e.g., 90.0.0.0).
This type of communication is commonly used for sending messages directly between two users.
Broadcasting
Limited and Direct Broadcast
Broadcasting is explained as having two types: limited broadcast and direct broadcast.
Limited broadcast targets all hosts within a specific network segment using the address 255.255.255.255.
Direct broadcast allows messages to be sent to all devices across different networks by using a specific direct broadcast address.
Multicasting
Definition and Functionality
Multicasting involves sending messages to multiple recipients who are part of a specific group rather than broadcasting to everyone.
It’s likened to targeted messaging, such as news broadcasts aimed at particular audience groups.
Protocol Usage
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) facilitates multicast communications, particularly utilizing Class D addressing for group management.

In this video, Varun sir has explained the concepts of Unicast, Broadcast & Multicast.
Unicast, broadcast, and multicast are three types of communication methods used in computer networks to transmit data packets between devices. Each of these types of communication have distinct properties and are used for different purposes.
