Cayley graph techniques are introduced for the problem of constructing networks having the maximum possible number of nodes, among networks that satisfy prescribed bounds on the parameters maximum node degree and broadcast diameter. The broadcast diameter of a network is the maximum time required for a message originating at a node of the network to be relayed to all other nodes, under the restriction that in a single time step any node can communicate with only one neighboring node. For many parameter values these algebraic methods yield the largest known constructions, improving on previous graph-theoretic approaches. It has previously been shown that hypercubes are optimal for degree $k$ and broadcast diameter $k$. A construction employing dihedral groups is shown to be optimal for degree $k$ and broadcast diameter $k+1$.
