Detailed explanation-1: -The IGMP protocol allows for different types of messages, used to join multicast groups and to send multicast messages. A unicast message is sent directly to a single host, whereas a multicast is sent to all members of a particular group.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicast Messages: These are messages that are sent from one device to another device; they are not intended for others.
Detailed explanation-3: -Multicast is a one-to-many transmission method in which the network carries a message to multiple receivers at the same time. Multicast is similar to broadcasting, except that multicasting means sending to a specific group, whereas broadcasting implies sending to everybody, whether they want the traffic or not.
