broadcastadresserna
Broadcast addresses are special IP addresses used in networking to send data to all devices on a network segment. They are defined by the Internet Protocol (IP) and are used to facilitate communication between devices. In IPv4, the broadcast address is typically the highest address in a subnet, where all host bits are set to 1. For example, in a subnet with the address 192.168.1.0/24, the broadcast address would be 192.168.1.255. In IPv6, the concept of a broadcast address is replaced by multicast addresses, which allow for more efficient and flexible communication.
Broadcast addresses are used in various networking protocols and applications. For instance, they are employed in
However, the use of broadcast addresses can also lead to network congestion and performance issues, especially
