+UDP broadcast relay
+-------------------
+
+Certain vendors use broadcasts to identify their equipemnt within one ethernet
+segment. Unfortunately if you split your network with multiple VLANs you loose
+the ability of identifying your equiment.
+
+This is where "UDP broadcast relay" comes into play! It will forward received
+broadcasts to other configured networks.
+
+Every UDP port which will be forward requires one unique ID. Currently we
+support 99 IDs!
+
+Example #1: To forward all broadcast packets received on `UDP port 1900` on
+`eth3`, `eth4` or `eth5` to all other interfaces in this configuration.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set service broadcast-relay id 1 description 'SONOS'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth3'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth4'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth5'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 1 port '1900'
+
+Example #2: To Forward all broadcasts packets received on `UDP port 6969` on
+`eth3` or `eth4` to the other interface in this configuration.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set service broadcast-relay id 2 description 'SONOS MGMT'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 2 interface 'eth3'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 2 interface 'eth4'
+ set service broadcast-relay id 2 port '6969'
+
+Disable Instance(s)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each broadcast relay instance can be individually disabled without deleting the
+configured node by using the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set service broadcast-relay id <n> disable
+
+In addition you can also disable the whole service without removing the
+configuration by:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set service broadcast-relay disable
+
+.. note:: You can run the UDP broadcast relay service on multiple routers
+ connected to a subnet. There is **NO** UDP broadcast relay packet storm!
