oh, I just got it. I observed it from the wrong perspective. the names suggest that multicast consists of "multiple" different content in a stream. and unicast carries a single "uni" type of content per stream requested. it's clear now.

Is it just me or are the names ironic? Multicast: multicast conserves network bandwidth by sending a single stream of data Unicast: unicast transmits separate video, audio, or text streams to each computer requesting data. Source: Answers.com either Answers has its head screwed on backwards...
