Bacnet Broadcast Management Device (Bbmd)
The Bacnet Broadcast Management Device (Bbmd) is a device that manages the broadcast of Bacnet messages. It is responsible for forwarding broadcasts to all devices on the network. The Bbmd is essential for ensuring that all devices on the network receive broadcasts in a timely manner. Without a Bbmd, broadcasts would have to be sent individually to each device, which would greatly increase the amount of time and bandwidth required.
