Question

If a packet is to be delivered to all the hosts in a network, what kind of address should be used to specify the destination?
a. Unicast address
b. Broadcast address
c. Anycast address
d. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

Computer programming is the process of designing and building an executable computer program for accomplishing a specific computing task. Programming involves tasks such as: analysis, generating algorithms, profiling algorithms' accuracy and resource consumption, and the implementation of algorithms in a chosen programming language (commonly referred to as coding).[1][2] The source code of a program is written in one or more languages that are intelligible to programmers, rather than machine code, which is directly executed by the central processing unit.

Answer 2

Answer:

To specify destination, while delivering packet to all hosts in a network, b) Broadcast address is being used.

In unicast address, the host is single node, and anycast address is used when the number of host to whom data will be sent is not specified.

But in broadcast address network, all the hosts who are attached to the network will receive the data. Hence option is b is correct.
