Hi

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.

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 in the domain without having to go through a routing device, provided that they share the same subnet and gateway address and are in the same VLan, default or installed.

Thanks and Regards
