Unicast is a frame intended for only one Host where Broadcast is for everyone. Devices see broadcast as a public service announcement  every device must process the frame.

 

Hope you find this helpful.

Broadcast sent data/information from one point to all other receiver points, but unicats send data/information from one point to another point. unicast has one sender and one receiver, but broudcast has one sender and multive receiver.
