What kind of problems are caused by excessive broadcasts traffic on a network segment?

Excessive broadcast traffic can cause network congestion, and cause systems within that broadcast domains to be slowed down by having to process large amounts of packets.

Which of the two following might cause excessive data collisions on a ethernet network?
Excessive broadcasts, and using hubs instead of switches or routers to segment the network.
What kinds problems are caused by excessive broadcasts traffic on a network segment?
Network capacity taken up by broadcasts cannot be used by normal network traffic, and because broadcast domains are not (by default) broken up by switches (only routers) they typically affect large numbers of hosts simultaneously.Users will complain of slow or unavailable network response if it gets too bad.
What is the problem not caused by excessive broadcast traffic on a network segment?
Complex address schemes
Which device enables computers to be attached to a network without segmenting?
A Hub is the only network device for this type of job. Since a router stops broadcasts, it segments a network in a way. On the other hand, a switch does forward broadcasts but it creates segments because each switch port can be a network on their own.
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.
What are characteristics of a network bridges?
-They let two network segments appear as one network to connected workstations. -Their primary function is to keep traffic for one segment away from the other segment.
What is the difference between a populated segment and an unpopulated segment?
populated segments a network segment that contains ends nodes,such as work stations. unpopulated segments a network segment that does not contain end nodes, such as workstations. Unpopulated segments are also called link segments.
What network device uses a MAC address table to segment network?
Although some would suggest that a switch could segment a network (and it does use the MAC address for switching) more properly a bridge would be the answer if you are speaking of segmenting a network.
Which device boosts the signal but does not segment the network?
Repeaters and Hubs
In a local area network a computer is connected by a to the cable which handles the majority of network traffic?
segment backbone
How much data runs to a hub?
All data on that network segment.
How do you connect 5 computer in a lan?
To do that, an additional device is required, a network hub or a network switch, which all computers in the network segment should have to be connected to.
