Multicast addresses are used to send a single packet

Detailed explanation-1: -Multicast is a technique in which a device sends a single packet to multiple destinations simultaneously (one-to-many), in contrast to a unicast address, which sends a single packet to a single destination (one-to-one).
Detailed explanation-2: -The nodes in the network take care of replicating the packet to reach multiple receivers only when necessary. The most common transport layer protocol to use multicast addressing is User Datagram Protocol (UDP). By its nature, UDP is not reliable-messages may be lost or delivered out of order.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the full range of multicast addresses is from 224.0. 0.0 to 239.255. 255.255. Since multicast addresses represent a group of IP devices (sometimes called a host group) they can only be used as the destination of a datagram; never the source.
