Multicast : Why Use it

When multiple receivers are required to get the same data at approximately the same time, multicast is a more efficient way of delivering data than unicast. A unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address. A multicast packet has a single source IP, but it has a multicast destination IP address that will be delivered to a group of receivers.
