@waheeda..
if the broadcast travels a router, then each and every node in this entire world has to listen each and every broadcast which were generated by each and every other nodes. ( node-networking device)
so, the entire world will only be listening to broadcast… lol

but can you please give little explanation on this
What do you think would happen if broadcasts were being sent from network to network- all over the internet?

Dear Sirs
Thanks a lot for your article that has clarified to me
the concept of broadcast address.
but unhapply you did a mistake.when you put your examples.You say:
Network class A :192.0.0.0
Nerwork class B :192.168.0.0
A network class A or B can not start with 192
Almost every network student knows that class A goes from 1 to 126
and clas B goes from 128 to 191 in the first octet.Eventually
with your addresses you can lead to confusion to beginners
Have a nice day
Daniel

I enjoyed this article. Explained a lot. Wasn’t not aware of the usefulness of inverting the subnet. Affords some interesting combinations, and discoveries. Understanding networking from the point of view of ones-and-zeroes is very interesting, and essential to a complete networking understanding.

thanks!
