What is the difference between "UDP Multicast open.vi " and "UDP open.vi " ?

[udka]

Someone correct me if i am wrong, the difference is "multicast"
-Based on my General Computer Network knowledge, multicast means sending data/packets to selected group of nodes. Which will be UDP multicast
-UDP open.vi might be for unicast which is to one node specifically.
-One more difference is in first one(multicast open), you have additional read,write and read write funcionality which is not available in normal UDP open.vi

Hi hm,

well,

did you read the help for both functions? And did you read the information provided for "UDP MultiCast connection"?

What remains unclear after reading all that?

Well, the difference is in the word "multicast", and of you are not familiar with it (even after reading the LabVIEW help on these functions), you should do a simple web search. Have you? After you have done so, come back here if you still have questions.
