It is a unicast device that is used to send data to a particular node. Switch is operated on data link layer. Switch is a type of full duplex mode of transmission.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Unicast communication is from one device on the network to another device on the network. A MultiCast communication is from one device on the network to many, but not all, devices on the network. A Broadcast communication is from one device on the network to all devices on the network.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term unicast refers to a one-to-one transmission from one point in the network to another point. Conventionally, unicast is considered more secure because the frame is delivered solely to the intended recipient and not to multiple hosts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unicast is basically a single, direct request sent from one host to another, and only the two hosts interact over the established route. For example, when you click a hyperlink in a Web browser, you are requesting HTTP data from the host defined in the link, which, in turn, delivers the data to your browser.
