broadcast domain

A broadcast domain is a logical division of a computer network , in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. A broadcast domain can be within the same LAN segment or it can be bridged to other LAN segments.

  • Any computer connected to the same Ethernet repeater or Switch is a member of the same broadcast domain.
  • Routers and other higher-layer devices form boundaries between broadcast domains
