Broadcast 

In broadcast transmission, the information source sends information to all hosts on the subnet, even 
if some hosts do not need the information. 

Figure 2 Broadcast transmission 

 

 

In 

 Figure 2

, only Host B, Host D, and Host E need the information. If the information is broadcast to 

the subnet, Host A and Host C also receive it. In addition to information security issues, broadcasting 
to hosts that do not need the information also causes traffic flooding on the same subnet. 

Broadcast is not as efficient as multicast for sending data to groups of hosts. 

Multicast 

Multicast provides point-to-multipoint data transmissions with the minimum network consumption. 
When some hosts on the network need multicast information, the information sender, or multicast 
source, sends only one copy of the information. Multicast distribution trees are built through multicast 
routing protocols, and the packets are replicated only on nodes where the trees branch.
