Sending a Broadcast packet.
While ZigBee does provide the means for broadcasting data packets throughout the network, because of the inherent delays associated with broadcast transmissions overall latency may increase; especially with larger networks. Because of the added latency and overall effect on the network, broadcast transmissions within a ZigBee network should be limited.
