Question

Discuss the use of these addresses in the TCP/IP Protocol model. Differentiate between unicast, broadcast, multicast, and any-cast addresses.

Like really define what they do and stuff.

Answer 1

uncast: Network is used when two network nodes need to talk to each other. This is pretty straight forward. TCP by definition is a uncast protocol. except when there is any cast is involved. When you need to have more than two nodes see the traffic, If all of the nodes are on the same subnet, then broadcast becomes a viable solution. All nodes on the subnet will see all traffic. There is no TCP like connection state maintained. Broadcast is a layer 2 feature in the eternal protocol and also layer 3 feature in IPV4 Multicast: Is like broadcast that can cross subnets, but unlike broadcast does not touch all nodes. Nodes have to subscribe to a multicast group to receive information. Multicast protocols are usually UDP Protocols, Since by no connection state can be maintained. Nodes are transmitting data to a multicast group do not known what nodes are receiving. By default internet routers do not pass
