Excessive broadcasts, and using hubs instead of switches or routers to segment the network.
Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.
Network capacity taken up by broadcasts cannot be used by normal network traffic, and because broadcast domains are not (by default) broken up by switches (only routers) they typically affect large numbers of hosts simultaneously.Users will complain of slow or unavailable network response if it gets too bad.
SwitchDescription: Network Switch a device that seperates the Broadcast domain of a LAN segment from other segments.
It's called broadcast.
All devices on your network segment. This is the 255.255.255.255 address which is reserved for broadcast transmissions. pg 147
A collision domain is a logical network segment where data packets can "collide" with one another for being sent on a shared medium, in particular in the Ethernet networking protocol. This is an Ethernet term used to describe a network scenario wherein one particular device sends a packet on a network segment, forcing every other device on that same segment to pay attention to it. A broadcast domain is a logical network segment in which any computer or other device connected to the network can directly transmit to any other on the domain without having to go through a routing device, provided that they share the same subnet address and are in the same VLAN, default or installed. More specifically, a broadcast domain is the area of the computer network composed of all the computers and networking devices that can be reached by sending a frame to the data link layer broadcast address. A very basic network that uses hubs rather than switches or routers is like a post office clerk checking the mail. One clerk looks at each letter to confirm that the mail is not for themselves.
VLANAnswer Explanation: A virtual LAN (VLAN) allows endpoints to be grouped together as though they were on the same network segment, regardless of their physical location within the network. It creates a common broadcast domain that the members of the VLAN share regardless of the physical switch to which they are attached. VLANs provide a means for grouping users with common needs, and they can be used to segregate traffic from other areas of the network.
Assuming you mean in IPv4, then it's the broadcast address meaning all devices on the network segment should listen to and accept the packet.
-They let two network segments appear as one network to connected workstations. -Their primary function is to keep traffic for one segment away from the other segment.
