A host is transmitting a multicast. Which host or hosts will receive it?
- a specially defined group of hosts
- one specific host
- all hosts with the same IP address
- the closest neighbor on the same network
| Explanation & Hint:
When a host is transmitting a multicast, the data is sent to a specially defined group of hosts, and only those hosts that have joined that multicast group will receive the communication. This allows for efficient one-to-many or many-to-many communication to a specific group of interested hosts, making it a useful and efficient way to share data with selected recipients. |
