Step 1: Understand what BFS (Breadth-First Search) is. It is an algorithm used to explore nodes and edges in a graph.
Step 2: Recognize that in networking, a network can be represented as a graph where nodes are devices (like computers) and edges are connections between them.
Step 3: Identify that broadcasting means sending a message to all devices in the network.
Step 4: Realize that BFS can be used to start from one node and explore all its neighbors first before moving to the next level of nodes.
Step 5: Conclude that using BFS allows a message to be sent to all nodes efficiently, ensuring that every device receives the message.
