 [No title]
Broadcast (2) can be thought of as the the broadcast for subnets or networks in the old paradigm.
These addresses may be used in two environments: o Broadcasting to all members of a given LIS where a priori knowledge of a host's IP address and subnet mask are known (e.g.
Given that some applications must use the all ones address in MARS for their broadcast group, and that we wish to minimize the number of broadcast groups used by LIS members, the all ones group in MARS MUST be used by all members of the LIS when registering to receive broadcast transmissions.

 Broadcast address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer networking, a broadcast address is an IP address that allows information to be sent to all machines on a given subnet rather than a specific machine.
Generally, the broadcast address is found by taking the bit complement of the subnet mask and then OR-ing it bitwise with the IP address.
Example: to broadcast a packet to an entire class B subnet using a private IP address space, the broadcast address would be 172.16.255.255.

 The IP Address
Addresses in other places than computer networks: Addresses are used by the postal system to allow a postman to find a person's house; to allow a computer to uniquely identify a location in memory.
Each IP address consists of two parts, the network part (identifying the network number, or LAN collision domain, to which the computer is attached) and the host part (which identifies the host within the local network).
An IP address may be unicast (for a specific end system), network broadcast (for all systems on a LAN) or multicast (for a group of end systems).

 Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast
Broadcast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to all other points.
The destination address (all 1 s) may also identify a broadcast packet (to be sent to all connected computers) or a multicast packet (msb=1) (to be sent only to a selected group of computers).
The hardware address is also known as the Medium Access Control (MAC) address, in reference to the IEEE 802.x series of standards which define Ethernet.

The client SHOULD further note that it is connected to a broadcast capable network and use this information for aging the HARP server entry and for IP broadcast emulation as specified in sections 5.4 and 5.6 respectively.
The default address to use for the broadcast address is the operational HARP server address.

 Broadcast address definition by The Linux Information Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A broadcast address is a special type of networking address that is reserved for sending messages to all nodes (i.e., devices attached to the network) on a given network or network segment.
A broadcast is the simultaneous transmission of a single message to all nodes on the network or on a network segment.
A broadcast address is usually a MAC address consisting of all F's (i.e., 0xFFFFFFFF).

 RFC 2226 (rfc2226) - IP Broadcast over ATM Networks
Broadcasting typically allows a single transmit operation to cause a packet to be received by all IP hosts that are members of a particular 'subnet'.
To address the need for multicast support (represented by transmission to IP addresses in the Class D space), RFC 2022 ("Support for Multicast over UNI 3.0/3.1 based ATM Networks") [2] was created.
There are two broadcast groups which this memo addresses: 1) 255.255.255.255 - "All ones" broadcast 2) x.z - CIDR-prefix (subnet) directed broadcast Broadcast (1) is sometimes referred to as a limited broadcast to this physical network.

 Broadcast Address (Linktionary term)
Broadcast address refers to the ability to address a message that is broadcast to all stations or hosts on a network.
On IP networks, the IP address 255.255.255.255 (in binary, all 1s) is the general broadcast address.
You can't use this address to broadcast a message to every user on the Internet because routers block it, so all you end up doing is broadcasting it to all hosts on your own network.

 UDP Broadcast Flooding
IP helper addressing is a form of static addressing that uses directed broadcasts to forward local and all-nets broadcasts to desired destinations within the internetwork.
IP helper addressing in not the optimal solution for this type of topology because each router receives unnecessary broadcasts from the other router, as shown in Figure 6-2.
Setting the broadcast address of the TIC servers to the major net broadcast (164.53.0.0)—This alternative was dismissed because the Sun TCP/IP implementation does not allow the use of major net broadcast addresses when the network is subnetted.

 Broadcast
Broadcasting is the sending of a single message (datagram) to multiple recipients, using a connectionless protocol such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
The subnet broadcast address has an IP address of all one bits and a specific subnet ID. For example, consider a class A network 22.0.0.0 with a subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
If the destination address is not a subnet broadcast address, ISA Server considers the address as the subnet broadcast address of the network adapter on the ISA Server computer on which the packet was received.

A Broadcast means that the network delivers one copy of a packet to each destination.
It is very similar to the network broadcast we just talked about but varies slightly in the sense that its IP broadcast is not set to 255.255.255.255, but is set to the subnet broadcast address.
From the broadcast address you can tell that I am using a full Class C network range, otherwise the Destination IP wouldn't be 192.168.0.255.

 Accessing LMX Systems that Broadcast on 0.0.0.0
The broadcast address of 0.0.0.0 derives from an early release of TCP/IP from Berkeley UNIX.
This was released during a time when the TCP/IP standards were being implemented and a industry-wide consensus hadn't been reached concerning the IP address for a broadcast.
This broadcast address is not supported by the TCP/IP standards stated in RFC 917 and RFC 922 which define using 255.255.255.255 or a subnetted variation for broadcasts.
