broadcast traffic.
The controller's NTP configuration can be defined to use broadcast messages instead of
messaging between fixed NTP synchronization resource addresses. Use a NTP broadcast to

broadcast server (and controller) must be on the same subnet. NTP broadcasts reduce
configuration complexity since both the controller and its NTP resources can be configured to
send and receive broadcast messages.
