Chapter 8 Multicast  Multicast Overview In the network, packet s are sent in three modes: unicast, broadcas t and multicast. In unicast, the source server sends separate copy information to each receiver . When a large number of users require this information, the serv er must send many pieces of info rmation with the same content to the users. [...]
