When it is used to send messages to broadcast addresses rather than to specific hosts, this program needs to inherit the net_broadcast
privilege to run properly.
The timeout is fairly short to allow transmission to a large group of machines (some of which may be down) in a reasonable amount of time. Thus the message may not get through to a heavily loaded machine.
