| When referring to
computers, a broadcast is used to describe a message sent to all
individuals in an area. In computer networking, the broadcast address
is used to distribute a signal across a network, commonly used to
declare to other devices on a network that a new device has connected
to the network and to give those other devices information about the
newly connected device. The broadcast address on a network is commonly
an address that ends with "255". For example, a broadcast netmask
is "255.255.255.255".
