UDP Broadcast Messages to all nodes in OMNET++

I am using OMNET++ INET for Ad hoc networks. I want to broadcast my message to all my neighbors in UDP. I have tried all the possible solutions in UDPBasicApp. It broadcasts a message to one node at a time which it chooses randomly if the destination is not fixed (sink). UDPBasicBurstApp also does not send message to all connected nodes.

Could you precise "all my neighbors in UDP"? UDP works in transport layer. There is no neighbors in that layer. - Jerzy D.

Just as with a real network: to broadcast to all nodes on your local network you must use the local broadcast address as a destination address.

i.e. if I'm on the network 192.168.0.0 and I have an 8 bit subnet then sending to 192.168.0.255 would broadcast the message.

sorry in my omnet.ini file I have this configuration:

*.configurator.config = xml("") *.configurator.optimizeRoutes = false .host.ipv4.routingTable.netmaskRoutes = ""

I would like to send the UDP packet to multiple end nodes so that they all receive the same packet and not that the end node is chosen randomly. How should I set the destAddress?
