This chapter explains the differences between unicast (one-to-one), broadcast (one-to-all), and multicast (one-to-many) traffic. It focuses on Dante’s use of multicast for scalable distribution and the importance of IGMP snooping and queriers in preventing multicast flooding. Learners understand how multicast improves efficiency but requires proper switch configuration. The chapter also prepares users to analyze switch behavior and CPU load when handling multicast traffic.
