The transmission of a signal (audio and video) from one endpoint to many.
(noun) Television or radio signals designed to reach a mass audience. (Some Websites offer original or redistributed broadcasts--see Webcast.) (verb) 1) To transmit television or radio signals. 2) To email or fax a message to multiple recipients simultaneously; to transmit information simultaneously to everyone on a network.
Sending data to all computers on a network.
To simultaneously send an identical message (text, audio or video) to a selected number of receivers, as in an email system or over a network, for example to advertise services. The broadcasting functions of the Teligent Content Provider solution or SMS Broadcast Server solution allow a content provider to address a message (text, voice or video) to a particular broadcast list. It is possible also for operators/customers to send out identical messages to a list of destinations (broadcast job).
A packet sent to all devices on a network.
To broadcast is to send the same message to a number (normally all) of the network terminals simultaneously.
One-way transmission through space, utilizing prearranged radio frequencies. (1) In radio and television, electromagnetic signals transmitted multi-directionally over air and intended for reception by the public. (2) In satellites, signals transmitted or retransmitted by orbital devices and intended for direct reception by the public. (3) In LANs, transmissions over a shared media which can be received by any station attached to the network. (4) In the ISDN BRI passive bus, TEI 127 on which the switch may send frames that are received by al TEs on the passive bus.
Transmitting data to all users on a network.
The act of distributing a signal to all desired destinations
A single stream transmitted to all clients on a network, whereby all the clients experience the same portion of the media program, at the same time, whether the program is live or pre-recorded.
To transmit a signal to a different location. Common use is in radio and television broadcasting where the audio (and picture in television) is transmitted through the air on radio-frequencies (RF).
Transmitting one copy of a stream over the whole network.
Refers to signals intended for delivery on television, as well as network delivery to a wide audience.
IP subnet broadcasts can be used for name resolution. Broadcasts are received by all computers on a subnet, requiring processing time at each computer. Windows Networking also maintains a designated browse master that maintains a list of all resources available on a subnet. An election process that uses broadcasts determines this browse master. Because registrations, browser elections, and name queries could all generate broadcasts, use of the broadcast name resolution method is not recommended.

To send information to an IP address that all network hosts listen to. You can broadcast a message across an entire subnet.
A single master radio communicates with two or more remote radios, but the remote radios do not communicate directly with each other. Any radio that sends data over the air will be sent to all radios within the network. The only radio that responds is the one that is attached to the device that is being addressed. The application layer (Layer 7) will respond to the message.
The broadcast address is a special address that every host on the network listens to in addition to its own unique address. This address is the one that datagrams are sent to if every host on the network is meant to receive it. Certain types of data like routing information and warning messages are transmitted to the broadcast address so that every host on the network can receive it simultaneously. There are two commonly used standards for what the broadcast address should be. The most widely accepted one is to use the highest possible address on the network as the broadcast address. An example on an internal network would be 192.168.1.255. Every host on the network must be configured with the same broadcast address.

Describes how a client experiences receiving a stream. A broadcast stream can be multicast or unicast. In a broadcast connection, the client is passive and does not control when the stream starts or stops. In contrast, in an on-demand connection, the client is active and controls when the stream is started or stopped.

This refers to a method of sending information over a network. With broadcasting, data comes from one source and goes to all other connected sources. This has the side effect of congesting a medium or large network quickly. Sometimes, broadcasting is necessary to locate network resources, but once found, more advanced networking protocols change to point to point connections to transmit data. Nowadays, switches and routers often do not pass along broadcast packets, but in the days of shared Ethernet, broadcasting could really congest a network with packets quickly.
In general, a broadcast is used to describe a message sent to all individuals in an area. In computer networking, the broadcast address is used to distribute a signal across a network, commonly used to declare to other devices on a network that a new device has connected to the network and to give other mechanisms information about the newly connected device.
