IP Broadcast Address
The broadcast address is the address used to send
a datagram to all hosts on the local network simultaneously. This
is the address given by the network number followed by all binary
1's in the host part of the address.
For example: The broadcast address for a host on the La Trobe,
Bendigo Class-B IP network would be[1]:
149.144.255.255
An example class C broadcast address is:
197.23.114.255

fact that subnetting is in use, see next slide.
