True or False: Traffic on the public internet is unicast.

The assertion that traffic on the public internet is unicast is accurate. Unicast refers to a one-to-one communication method where data is sent from one single source to one specific destination. This means that in a unicast transmission, the data packets are directed to a particular IP address, ensuring that only the intended recipient receives the information.

On the public internet, the majority of traffic operates under this unicast model, facilitating tasks such as web browsing, online gaming, and file transfers, where a user's request is directed to a single server and the server responds with data specifically relevant to that user.

While there are other forms of data transmission on the internet, such as multicast (one-to-many) and broadcast (one-to-all within a network segment), the foundational and most common type of communication over the public internet remains unicast. Thus, the statement stands true, as unicast transmission dominates standard internet traffic interactions.
