Unicast is the term used to define communication where information is sent from one point to another point (From server to client). In this situation, there is just one sender (server), and one receiver (Client). Each client receives a separate stream and given that they request it. Unicast streaming works either for video on demand streaming or live streaming.
(How Unicast Streaming Works)
One of the key advantages of unicast streaming is its ability to provide secure live streaming experiences. Since each client connects directly to the server, it allows for enhanced control over the data transmitted. This means that sensitive information, such as user credentials and payment details, can be encrypted, minimizing the risk of interception by unauthorized parties.
