A directed broadcast hits (is processed by) EVERY host on the targeted
subnet while a
multicast is based on membership to a multicast group. With multicast, you
can do things
such as block propagation on certain switch ports and forward on others even
though they are
in the same VLAN through the use of CGMP and the like. The differences are
numerous and this
probably just scratches the surface.
