        **What is Unicast Addressing?**

        Unicast addressing is a method of communication where data is sent from one source device to one specific destination device over a network.

        **Why is Unicast Addressing useful?**

        Unicast is the most common form of network communication. It is efficient for one-to-one data exchanges like web browsing, file transfers, and emails.

        **How it works?**

        In unicast communication, each packet contains the unique IP address of the destination device. Routers forward the packet based on this address to reach the correct recipient.

        **Where is Unicast Addressing used?**

        Unicast is used in most standard internet and network communications, including HTTP, FTP, SSH, VoIP, and more.

        **Which OSI layer does this protocol belong to?**

        Unicast addressing operates at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model, using IP for addressing and routing.

        **Is Unicast Addressing Windows specific?**

        No, unicast addressing is not Windows specific. It is universally supported across all platforms that implement the IP protocol.

        **Is Unicast Addressing Linux specific?**

        No, unicast addressing is not Linux specific. It is supported by all network-capable operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.

        **Which Transport Protocol is used by Unicast Addressing?**

        Unicast can use both TCP and UDP transport protocols depending on the application requirements.

        **Which Port is used by Unicast Addressing?**

        Unicast addressing itself does not define any specific port. The port number depends on the application or service being used (e.g., HTTP uses port 80).

        **Is Unicast Addressing using client-server model?**

        Yes, unicast is often used in client-server communication, where a client sends requests to a specific server, and the server responds directly to that client.
