CCNA Routing and Switching (legacy) — Question 13

Which two statements about IPv4 multicast traffic are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It burdens the source host without affecting remote hosts.
• B. It uses a minimum amount of network bandwidth.
• C. It is bandwidth-intensive.
• D. It simultaneously delivers multiple streams of data.
• E. It is the most efficient way to deliver data to multiple receivers.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because IPv4 multicast is designed to use minimal bandwidth by sending a single copy of data to multiple receivers. Option E is also correct as it efficiently delivers data to multiple recipients without overloading the network. Options A and C are incorrect because they misrepresent the nature of multicast traffic; A suggests it burdens the source host, which is not true, and C contradicts B by claiming it is bandwidth-intensive.
