Broadcast mode is intended for operation on networks with numerous workstations and where the highest
accuracy is not required. In a typical scenario, one or more time servers on the network broadcast NTP
messages that are received by NTP hosts. Correct time is determined from this NTP message based on a
pre-configured latency or broadcast delay in the order of a few milliseconds.
