Re: Broadcast domain

Santosh,

A broadcast domain is a logical part of a network (a network segment) in which any network equipment can transmit data directly to another equipment or device without going through a routing device (assuming the devices share the same subnet and use the same gateway; also, they must be in the same VLAN).

Collision domain is a logical area where the packets/frames get collied each other in a CSMA/CD ether network.

All the hosts in that area trying to grab the access of the network/carrier to send out its data.


In the case of Hub all the ports/host are in the same collision domain, means that only on host can able to send the data.

But in the case of switch each port in the switch has seperate collision domain as it has the intelligence upto MAC layer.


Thanks,
Riju
