Detailed explanation-1: -Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface. Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses. This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicast addresses identify a single interface. Anycast addresses identify a set of interfaces in such a way that a packet sent to an anycast address is delivered to a member of the set.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Unicasting, the data traffic flows from a single source node to a single destination node on the network. It is a ‘one-to-one’ type of data transmission between the sender and receiver. In other words, we can say that a single station is sending information to another station on the network.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unicast addresses are what you would call regular addresses. They are the addresses usually bound to your network card. Unicast addresses should be unique on a network, meaning a single unicast address should only represent a single system. Multicast addresses are used to make a one-to-many connection.
