title: sending udp broadcast from a docker container
body: <p>I'm having a few docker containers (Using <code>docker-compose</code> and a single network - network-sol)</p>
  
  <p>One of the containers is a <code>Spring Boot application</code> that sends UDP broadcast to the local network. 255.255.255.255 fails because It's the local broadcast address of <strong>network-sol</strong></p>
  
  <p>How can I broadcast UDP messages such as the "top local network" Will get those packets?  Do i have to use <code>directed broadcast address</code> for that? </p>
  
  <p>P.S</p>
  
  <p>broadcast works if the application is deployed outside of docker (part of the local network</p>
