Simplex (5 marks)
Simplex is a one-way only communication standard where transmitted information
may only move in one direction. It is also known as simplex communication or
simplex transmission. Examples of simplex applications include keyboard to
computer connections, computer to printer communication, radio and television
broadcasts, and more.
Multicast suggests that a single sender is sending the same message to several
destinations/recipients at the same time when communicating with a group of people
(more than one person).
There are occasions when it's necessary to tell everyone nearby. The terms "one-to-
all" and "broadcast" both imply that a single sender distributes a message to every
connected recipient.
