HUB in a collision Domain, Switch in Local Network.
Broadcasting in network is done to locate devices in Network. Hub broadcasts through all its port whereas Network Switch Broadcast traffics within a Port & out of all ports only if new device is to be found.
SwitchDescription: Network Switch a device that seperates the Broadcast domain of a LAN segment from other segments.

A serverThe device that manages trafic between two networks is a router.
Device which are on the network and the traffic is passing thru it.
Using a layer two network device (a switch) which will minimize broadcast storms because the device will maintain a table of hardware addresses and forward packets only to the relevant port.

This device is called a ROUTER. Routers are by default configured to not pass the broadcast traffic to another networks to which it connects. But by some means it could be also a SWITCH - sometimes it can be configured to filter different type of network traffic.
When a packet arrives at the network layer on the sender's device, it is encapsulated into a frame whose destination MAC address is all fs (FF-FF-FF...). The switch connected to the sender's device recognizes the all fs MAC address as a broadcast message and hence forwards it to all its ports.

Large numbers of hosts on a single network:Actual Data OverheadA big part of the overhead is broadcasts.In this context, each network is called a broadcast domain.Switches forward broadcasts to each device connected to a switch port.If we can reduce broadcast overhead, it would improve performance on the network.
A router is a networking device that forwards data on a network.

A broadcast domain is created any time you connect several clients together via a network connectivity device, such as a hub or switch or bridge. They would all be in the same broadcast domain for every client connected to them. Since a router does not forward broadcast messages, it creates different broadcast domains.
Disregarding Official Traffic Control Device
A broadcast storm is what occurs when the number of broadcasts on a broadcast domain reaches a certain level that causes the network to shut down for useful traffic entirely.
