Types of Network Communication
There are three main types of network communications:
- Unicast: One-to-one communication, such as a client connecting to a web server.
- Broadcast: One-to-many communication, where a message is sent to all devices in the network segment.
- Multicast: One-to-many communication, where a message is sent to a specific group of devices.
Broadcast communications can be problematic, as they consume network resources and expose sensitive information to unauthorized devices in the same broadcast domain.
