Broadcast Type
• Directed Broadcast - Broadcast packets are directed to a subnet based on the IP address
and subnet mask of the sender.
• Limited Broadcast - The limited broadcast address is 255.255.255.255. It is limited because
routers will never forward datagrams with that destination address. This means that
datagrams with the limited broadcast address are confined to the particular network segment
on which they originate.
