Broadcast address, which is at the end of the Subnet Mask at 255, essentially is used to communicate between all devices on a network
Fun example:
Device: “Hey, CAN SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING???”
Sends a broadcast address to the DHCP server
the 23 devices on the network:
“HALLO, HALLO, HALLO!!!! :DDDD”
(obviously it’ll only be one request and it’ll be the DHCP server)
It replies with all included IP addresses assigned to the different addresses
Cool diagram for it:
