Non-broadcast multiple-access network

A non-broadcast multiple-access network is a type of computer network where data only goes to the computers and devices that need it. It's like a group of friends playing hide-and-seek—each person can only see the friends they are looking for, but they don't need to know where the others are. The same is true with a non-broadcast multiple-access network—data only goes where it needs to go.
