Am I correct in assuming that it is possible to send any type of UDP packet to the broadcast address (eg 192.168.1.255) and all machines on the net 192.168.1.x will receive the data?

I need to send the exact same packets from one machine to several others on the network, it costs more processing power to route packets to several hosts at once in the app I am using.
