CSVTU Syllabus Unit 3 Routing Protocols (INTRODUCTION)
Multicast lets server direct single copies of data streams that are
then simulated and routed to hosts that request it
IP multicast requires support of some other protocols like IGMP
(Internet Group Management Protocol), Multicast routing for its
working. Also in Classful IP addressing Class D is reserved for
multicast groups.
In multicasting, the router may forward the received
packet through several of its interfaces.
Applications
Unicast uses TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for communications
while Multicast uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
TCP, as you remember, is an acknowledged protocol.
UDP is smaller, simpler, and more efficient, but if some of your receivers don't get one or
more messages, there is no way to know
It will append 255.255.255.255 (all the 32 bits of o Useful when a device in one network wants to transfer
IP address set to 1) called as Limited Broadcast packet stream to all the devices over the other network.
Address in the destination address of the o This is achieved by translating all the Host ID part bits of the
datagram (packet) header which is reserved for destination address to 1,referred as Direct Broadcast

single client (sender) over the network. Television networks for video and audio distribution.
ARP
Limited broadcast address
Example-
Host A having IP Address 11.1.2.3 sending data to all other hosts residing in the same network.
Here,
Source Address = IP Address of host A = 11.1.2.3
Destination Address = 255.255.255.255
Directed Broadcast Address (DBA)
Example-
Host A having IP Address 11.1.2.3 sending data to all other hosts residing in the network having
IP Address 20.0.0.0
Here,
Source Address = IP Address of host A = 11.1.2.3
Destination Address = 20.255.255.255
IDENTIFY CA,CB, CC,CD,CE
IP ADDRESS NID DBA LBA
250.0.10.20 X X X
Special IP Addresses
Not all IP addresses can be used for hosts; in fact, there are some IP addresses that are assigned
by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for special purposes.
EXERCISE
If Direct Broadcast Address of subnet is 201.15.16.31. Which of the following will be subnet
mask ?
(A) 255.255.255.240
(B) 255.255.255.192
(C) 255.255.255.198
(D) None Of the Above
