What is a broadcast address ?
A broadcast address is a special IP address used to send data to all devices within a subnet at the same time.
Instead of sending a packet to one device, the network delivers it to everyone in that subnet.
Suppose your subnet is:
192.168.1.0/24
Broadcast address → 192.168.1.255
