Difference between Broadcast and Multicast

The main difference between broadcast and multicast is that, in broadcasting, the message or packets go to all the connected devices on the network while, in multicasting, the packets go to a required set of devices on the network.

Transmission is the process of sending data from the source device to the destination device. In a network, the data converts into packets to travel to the destination. There are various types of transmission, and broadcast and multicast are two of them. In brief, multicasting is more efficient and require less bandwidth compared to broadcasting.
