The IP address "10.255.255.255" is a special address used in computer networking. It belongs to the private IP address range defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This range is reserved for use within private networks, meaning it is not routable on the public internet. This specific address is often used as a broadcast address for the 10.0.0.0/8 network. When a device sends data to this address, it is intended for all devices within that private network segment, allowing for efficient communication among them.
