Detailed explanation-1: -In computer networking, unicast is a one-to-one transmission from one point in the network to another point; that is, one sender and one receiver, each identified by a network address.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicast transmission requires no additional network configuration and is the most common form of data streaming over IP networks. While multicast traffic is subject to packet loss that risks quality of service, unicast traffic can operate at higher data rates.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unicasting is a method of delivery, not a protocol. Unicast packets are encapsulated and delivered using TCP via the Transport layer. Most LAN and Internet traffic is in Unicast. When a source and the recipient communicate on a single point-to-point basis, data packets are solely addressed to a single recipient.
