Cisco Packet Tracer LAB 5.5.2: Router Segment Broadcast Domains
In this video we will demonstrated the response of a broadcast packet to a
This is only one shot ping. How about 5 times shot ping as usually people does using ping command in Windows or Linux host? And this is only 8 hosts including the server how about 100 hosts? How many packet will the sender received back in response of sending 5 packets broadcast ping? Each host will send 5 packets ICMP reply, so the total is 5 packets/host x 100 hosts = 500 ICMP reply packets.
And this is only one host in a time, how about 2 host in a time, or maybe half of 100 host sending ICMP broadcast at a time? Or maybe the whole hosts sending ICMP Packet?
So it indeed will made the network exhausted and require the hosts to be process
So the solutions in segment the network into subnetworks using router, just like the example number 2 does.
