  Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast
Unicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to another point.
Unicast transmission, in which a packet is sent from a single source to a specified destination, is still the predominant form of transmission on LANs and within the Internet.
The format of IP multicast packets is identical to that of unicast packets and is distinguished only by the use of a special class of destination address (class D IP address) which denotes a specific multicast group.

  Unicast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Unicast" is derived from the word broadcast, as unicast is the extreme opposite of broadcasting.
Unicast servers provide a stream to a single user at a time, while multicast servers can support a larger audience by serving content simultaneously to multiple users.
Unicast is also the name of a Rich Media Company which was acquired by Viewpoint Corporation in 2004.

 Configuring Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
When Unicast RPF is enabled on an interface, the router examines all packets received as input on that interface to make sure that the source address and source interface appear in the routing table and match the interface on which the packet was received.
Unicast RPF is an input function and is applied only on the input interface of a router at the upstream end of a connection.
Unicast RPF is dropping or suppressing legitimate packets because the route is misconfigured to use Unicast RPF in environments where asymmetric routing exists; that is, where multiple paths can exist as the best return path for a source address.

 rfc2374
The Aggregatable Global Unicast Address Format is an improvement over RFC 2073 in a number of areas.
IPv6 unicast addresses are designed assuming that the Internet routing system makes forwarding decisions based on a "longest prefix match" algorithm on arbitrary bit boundaries and does not have any knowledge of the internal structure of IPv6 addresses.
Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2374 IPv6 Global Unicast Address Format July 1998 While this address format is designed to support exchange-based aggregation (in addition to current provider-based aggregation) it is not dependent on exchanges for it's overall route aggregation properties.

 Case Study - Unicast
Rather than take on the continual expense of additional infrastructure, they decided that outsourcing a significant portion of their ad serving traffic would be the most efficient and cost-effective way to manage growth.
Unicast moved delivery of a significant portion of their services to Akamai’s EdgePlatform, a distributed network of more than 18,000 servers worldwide.
The solutions give Unicast the ability to deliver content and J2EE Web applications that scale on demand and perform faster and more reliably worldwide—while reducing the demands on their own IT infrastructure and simplifying support.

 Unicast and Unicast Routing
Unicast is the process of forwarding unicasted traffic from a source to a destination on network.
Unicast transmission is the predominant form of transmission on LANs and within the Internet.
Ethernet) and IP networks support the unicast transfer mode, and most users are familiar with the standard unicast applications such as http, smtp, ftp and telnet, which employ the TCP transport protocol.

 Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
Unicast RPF must be applied at the interface downstream from the larger portion of the network, preferably at the edges of your network.
Unicast RPF ensures that the source address of a packet is from a route advertised by another router on the specific interface.
Unicast RPF is dropping legitimate packets because the route is misconfigured to use Unicast RPF in environments where asymmetric routing exists; that is, where multiple paths can exist as the best return path for a source address.

 Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
A unicast bridge is useful as it allows people who don't have multicast capabilities to join an AccessGrid session.
The unicast bridge cannot be run on the same system that you are running any of the Access Grid software on.
Before you configure and operate your AG bridge, it is a good idea to contact the Venue Client System Administrator to ask for permission to run a bridge for the particular lobby you wish to connect to.

 Roxen Community: RFC 3306 Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast Addresses (Standards Track)
By delegating multicast addresses at the same time as unicast prefixes, network operators will be able to identify their multicast addresses without needing to run an inter-domain allocation protocol.
The lifetime of a unicast prefix-based multicast address SHOULD NOT exceed the Valid Lifetime field in the Prefix Information option, corresponding to the unicast prefix being used, contained in the Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement message [RFC 2461].
It is possible that the embedded unicast prefix can aid in identifying the allocation domain of a given multicast address, though an allocation domain choosing to avoid being traced has no obstacles currently to creating addresses using a prefix not assigned to it, or using a smaller scope embedded prefix.

 What is unicast? - a definition from Whatis.com
- Unicast is communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a network.
The term exists in contradistinction to multicast, communication between a single sender and multiple receivers, and anycast, communication between any sender and the nearest of a group of receivers in a network.
An earlier term, point-to-point communication, is similar in meaning to unicast.

With this sub-option, the L3 relay agent will always unicast the messages towards the trusted layer 2 DHCP relay agent with a hardware address that is known in the network.
This means that it is possible that the layer 2 DHCP relay agents receive a unicast message from the L3 DHCP relay agent, and that it has to forward it as a broadcast.
It is also possible that the unicast message stays unicast and that only the destination MAC address has to be changed to the content of the chaddr field.
