What is different limited broadcast and directed broadcast?

Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.


A host sent a message that all other hosts on the local network received and processed What type of domain are all these hosts a part of?

broadcast domain


Why is an arp query sent within a broadcast frame?

An ARP query is sent in a broadcast frame because the querying host does not know which adapter address corresponds to the IP address in question. For the response, the sending node knows the adapter address to which the response should be sent, so there is no need to send a broadcast frame (which would have to be processed by all the other nodes on the LAN).


Is a chunk of information sent over network?

Information sent over a network us sent in the form of packets, think of it as taking a large file and chopping it up into many little tiny chucks and adding headers and footers as well as Error checking code (and many other things) and then sending it to its destination for reassembly. Hope this helps!


Dynamic IP addressing is performed by what?

for IPv4, Addresses are assigned to devices by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server on that network link (if any). The server listens for broadcast (meaning, a packet sent to "anyone" or 0.0.0.0) Discover packets. The server Offers and a negotiation (DORA) ends in the device having it's unique address for that network.

How will a broadcast frame that is sent by a host PC be handled on the net?

The broadcast will be received by all devices in the same network, but will not be forwarded outside the network (routers do not forward broadcast messages). So for the Internet, for example, you do not see broadcast packets.

What is message broadcast?

That means the message is sent, not to a single host, but to all hosts on a network. (A host may be a computer, or other communicating device.)

What are the advantages to dividing networks into subnets?

The advantages are:Security - packets must be routed between subnetsPerformance - packets will stay within their own subnet for the most partTroubleshooting - it is easier to find a problem in a smaller network than a large one.


What is the difference between broadcast and point to point?

Broadcast means you sent digital signals to any device connected to a network. Point to point means you send digital signals from a specific point to a specific point (identified by IP address or MAC address).


What are subnet broadcast addresses?

This could be a couple of things, but you are likely referring to TCP/IP protocol broadcasts. A broadcast address is when a data packet is sent to a special address to which all nodes on the network are supposed to accept and optionally respond to. While a broadcast address is defined for the entire network, this is not implemented in practice. For an IP subnet, the last address in the subnet's address space is the broadcast. For example, if my subnet is defined as 192.168.1.0/24 (very common for consumer network hardware including Wi-Fi), this defines the following: the network itself is identified as 192.168.1.0, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (24 binary 1s in a row), the usable host addresses are 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254, and the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255.
