Explain the term 'multicast'...

Answer / Ashutosh Kumar Singh

In multicast communication, the destination address identifies a group of receivers interested in receiving the same data stream. Multicast is useful for applications that require real-time data dissemination to many recipients, such as video conferencing or software updates.
