Type Of Broadcast

1. Unicast: Unicast is a one-to-one communication between a single sender and a single receiver. It's not a broadcast, as the data is sent specifically to one destination.

2. Broadcast: Broadcast communication is a one-to-all or one-to-many communication where data is sent to all devices on the network segment. This is often used for addressing all devices on a local network.

3. Multicast: Multicast is a one-to-many communication where data is sent to a selected group of devices. Devices that are part of the multicast group receive the data, while others do not. It's more efficient than broadcast as it targets a specific group rather than all devices.

4. Anycast: Anycast is a communication method where data is sent to the nearest member in a group of potential receivers. The data is sent to the nearest or best available recipient in the group, improving efficiency and reliability.

5. Geocast: Geocast is a type of communication where data is sent to a specific geographic area. Devices within that defined geographical region receive the data.

6. Broadcast Domain: A broadcast domain is a logical division of a computer network, where all devices can directly reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. Routers typically define the boundaries of broadcast domains.
