It's a bit more complicated than that; there are many factors involved:

- how many peer MPI processes are involved in the broadcast
- how many of those peers are local (and will likely communicate via shared memory, not a network device) and how many are remote
- what broadcast algorithm is used (there are many)

So the simplistic logp model won't help you here -- you'll need to be more complicated, and/or dig into the academic papers on these kinds of things.
