broadcast domain

A network can be split into multiple broadcast domains using routers.

In this case, it is synonymous with broadcast domain.

In practice, the scope of the broadcast is limited to a broadcast domain.

Hamachi creates a single broadcast domain between all clients.

Bridged networks break up collision domains, but the network remains one large broadcast domain.

Routers and other higher-layer devices form boundaries between broadcast domains.

Collision domains are generally smaller than, and contained within, broadcast domains.

Most commonly it is believed that only routers can impact the broadcast domain or filter broadcasts.

A switch breaks the collision domain but represents itself as a broadcast domain.

Similarly, layer 2 switches (bridges) cannot break up broadcast domains, which can cause performance issues and limits the size of your network.

In a typical network, everything on the same side of the router is all part of the same broadcast domain.

However, MAC address spoofing is limited to the local broadcast domain.

It is only used within that broadcast domain, ie, your LAN.

If the router is configured to forward them, the broadcast domain segmentation is compromised.

The use of a full mesh combined with split horizon forwarding guarantees a loop-free broadcast domain.

With a sufficiently sophisticated switch, it is possible to create a network in which the normal notion of a broadcast domain is strictly controlled.

Digital television transition is still an ongoing process in Kosovo, limiting the analog television broadcast domain to only three national channels.

Bonjour only works within a single broadcast domain, which is usually a small area, without special DNS configuration.

When using a hub, every attached device shares the same broadcast domain and the same collision domain.

A regular VLAN is a single broadcast domain.

OSPF uses multicast addressing for route flooding on a broadcast domain.

Further, any computer connected to the same set of inter-connected switches/repeaters is a member of the same broadcast domain.

Creating VLANs can serve security and performance goals by reducing the size of the broadcast domain.

It allows geographically dispersed sites to share an Ethernet broadcast domain by connecting sites through pseudo-wires.

Routers in the same broadcast domain or at each end of a point-to-point telecommunications link form adjacencies when they have detected each other.
