denial of service
Packets will be transmitted out of all switch ports except for the port where the packets were received. It's called flooding.
DoS
Setting too short an aging time can cause addresses to be prematurely removed from the table. Then, when the switch receives a packet for an unknown destination, it floods the packet to all ports in the same LAN (or VLAN) as the receiving port. This unnecessary flooding can impact performance.*unnecessary flooding of packets* :)
network flooding can use up a lot of bandwidth. network flooding is often taken advantage of in ping floods or a denial of service attacks, causing the network to crash or at least the quality of service go down. also if you don't include a time to live count or have each node keep track of which packets have been forwarded, than there is a possibility that duplicate packets will circulate forever
It is a protocol which tries to find route from source to destination only on-demand...This type of protocols finds a route on demand by flooding the network with Route Request packets. The main disadvantages of such algorithms are:High latency time in route finding.Excessive flooding can lead to network clogging.
Packets Words
data packets is a kind of packets of data. a groop of bits that is together in a groop.
Giant packets. Runt packets are packets that are too small. Giant packets are too large for the medium.
Session Layer traced lost Packets.
The packets will be delivered and reassembled at the destination.
