Broadcasting is a method of sending data packets to all nodes on a network simultaneously. In a wide area network, if a node broadcasts its data, it will be received by all other nodes on the network.

Datagram packet-switched networks are similar to packet-switched networks and do not broadcast data to all nodes.
