The standard method of sending data across a network - from a single sender, to a single receiver.

The term is similar to meaning to "point-to-point communication", and exists to be compared to MultiCast (one sender, many receivers) and AnyCast (any sender to the nearest group of receivers). It is one of the communications methods supported in IPv6.
