IP Directed Broadcast - used to send a directed broadcast packet, or a packet to a whole remote subnet. For instance, say you have your workstation management software on subnet 10.1.1.0/24, and you have three remote subnets 10.1.2.0/24, 10.1.3.0/24, and 10.1.4.0/24. The workstations have client software on them, so that the management software can poll for configuration changes, push registry entries, etc. You could have all of the clients poll the server, but you may want to "push" a change also. How could you do this? Well, you could ping all ~ 768 IP addresses to find each client, or you could send a directed broadcast to each of the three subnets, 10.1.2.255, 10.1.3.255, and 10.1.4.255, and all workstations would receive it (and hopefully reply).
IP mroute cache - well, that would be the multicast routing table cache, just like the ip-route-cache unicast cache. Kind of like fast switching for multicast traffic...
