Which network traffic type is best described as one source transmitting data to a specific group of recipients within a network?
Multicast
Anycast
Unicast
Broadcast
Multicast is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the scenario where data is sent from one source to a selected group of recipients. This makes multicast suitable for applications like live streaming where only specific subscribers receive the data stream. Unicast involves a direct single sender and single receiver connection, which does not satisfy the one-to-many relationship of the query. Broadcast sends to all hosts in the network, not a select group, making it overly broad for targeted data delivery. Anycast services any one recipient that can provide the quickest response from a group, which does not align with the notion of a specific group receiving data as described.
