Multicast is a type of network transmission where the sender sends data to a group of recipients at the same time. Multicast is often used in IPTV, video streaming, and other applications where one source needs to send data to multiple recipients simultaneously. Multicast is different from broadcast transmission, as broadcast transmission sends data to all connected devices, whereas multicast sends data to only specific recipients.
