Question about Broudcast-address

[BrucknerDan]

Hello everyone,

I have a question for a school presentation.

In my presentation I speak about the topic "Broadcast-address".

Now I have a theoretical question. Is it posible to send a message to all IP-addresses in the word? (no matter how long it would go).

If yes, how is it possible?

Thanks for your time and answer. (Antworten können auch gerne auf Deutsch sein)

Nö. 

Dafür müssten alle IP-Adressen öffentlich sein und da sie es nicht sind: Nein. 

Warum willst du gerade das wissen?

Ausserdem antworten viele Systeme nicht auf einen Broadcast Ping

Like the replies said , your answer is NO.

we have in networks something called "broadcast domain" which defines how far our broadcast massage is allowed to go.

imagine a Network as a house and packets are the memeber of that particular house. if they want to go out of the house they must go throght the Main door (Gateway) . once they are out , they can go to another house if they know the Route.
