Whenever a message has to be sent to several machines. For example, for a machine to "automatically get an IP address", it has to contact a DHCP server. Since the IP address of the DHCP server is not configured (the whole idea of DHCP is to reduce the effort required for configuring machines), it sends a broadcast - a message to all computers on the network - basically asking, "Who can help me now?"Whenever a message has to be sent to several machines.
