Broadcast addresses
When sending a request using a ZDP API function, the request can be broadcast to all nodes in the network by specifying a special 16-bit network address (0xFFFF) or 64-bit IEEE/MAC address (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF). Other broadcast options are also available in order to target particular groups of nodes, as indicated in the table below.
