Introduction:

 Process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic

 Networks like telephone network, electronic data network, transportation
networks etc uses routing
 Routing directs packet forwarding in packet switching
 Routing directs forwarding with respect to routing table
Types of casting:

 UNICAST
 MULTICAST
 BROADCAST
UNICAST:

 This type of information transfer is useful when there is participation of single

user and single recipient
 One to one technique i.e it has only one sender and one receiver
 Data is delivered from one point to another
 If same message is to be delivered to multiple devices then multiple unicast
is required
MULTICAST:

 It has one or more sender and has one or more receiver

 Data is delivered form one to one or more points
 Uses IGMP to identify the groups to which message is to be sent
 It represent group of devices in LAN means sending to specific hosts
 Multicast is most commonly implemented in IP multicast, in IP multicast the
implementation of the multicast concept occurs at the IP routing level,
where router creates optimal distribution paths for datagrams sent to
multicast destination address
BROADCAST:

 It has only one sender but different receiver

 Data is delivered from one points to several other points
 In this sender sends specific broadcast address, all those devices who have
the broadcast address will process it
 It represents all the devices in LAN means sending to all host in a network
Broadcasting can be classified into
two types:
 Limited Broadcasting
 Direct Broadcasting
