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?"

What is the broadcast address of network 192.168.113.216.255.255.255.248?
10.56.176.0 is your network. 255.255.240.0 is your subnet mask. Valid broadcast addresses would be 10.56.176.255 (network broadcast) and 255.255.255.255 (general network broadcast). The general network broadcast would actually broadcast to every machine on the internet, but internet routers will block all traffic from it to prevent this. In effect if you use either 10.56.176.255 or 255.255.255.255, the result is broadcasting to all machines on your network.
