What is the effect of a router on delimiting broadcast traffic and conserving bandwidth?
woodduckk@yahoo.com....
Generally speaking, routers will unicast-forward incoming packets which have a network broadcast address as destination, unless they are directly connected to that network/subnet and therefore know that the destination address is a broadcast address

What is meant by the term bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be running to your computer. It is measured in kilobits per second, megabits per second, gigabits per second, etc. The speed varies by what connection and cabling you use.
Why is it that voice and video traffic is often sent over TCP rather than UDP in todays Internet?
This is because some firewalls give less preference to UDP traffic. So its kind of a hack to get more effective bandwidth.
What is the broadcast address of network 192.168.113.216.255.255.255.248?
10.56.176.0 is your network. 255.255.240.0 is your subnet mask. Valid broadcast addresses would be 10.56.176.255 (network broadcast) and 255.255.255.255 (general network broadcast). The general network broadcast would actually broadcast to every machine on the internet, but internet routers will block all traffic from it to prevent this. In effect if you use either 10.56.176.255 or 255.255.255.255, the result is broadcasting to all machines on your network.
Which device forwards broadcast traffic?
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.
What are Ping floods?
A ping command is to checks whether the client can send or receive packets . A Ping Flood can be defined as an attempt by an attacker on a high bandwidth connection . It is to saturate a network with packets in order to slow the traffic .
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.
Why is it a bad thing to have to large a broadcast domain?
Because it creates a lot traffic which takes a lot of bandwidth. As result you will have a slow network which spends most of its time on broadcasting.
How much traffic is there in arequipa?
Well, you would need to be more specific as what "Traffic" means to you. Are you talking about Bandwidth traffic or transit? I guess bandwidth.
How do you reduce traffic congestion?
Increase the bandwidth.
Can bandwidth be limited through a router?
Yes, if router supports 'bandwidth (or, traffic) shaping' feature.
What forwards broadcast traffic?
a helicam
What does the Linux bandwidth monitor do?
The use of the Linux bandwidth monitor is the way to properly monitor network traffic with reports. They use these to know the bandwidth unique usage.
What was the effect of reducing the channel bandwidth?
lesser data traffic
How do you limit bandwidth in a small office network?
You need to get a router or switch allowing shaping traffic including bandwidth limiting.
What are the characteristics of switches?
- Data channels are shared among communication devices improving the use of bandwidth. - Messages can be stored temporarily at message switches, when network congestion becomes a problem. - Priorities may be used to manage network traffic. - Broadcast addressing uses bandwidth more efficiently because messages are delivered to multiple destinations.
What device cannot forward the broadcast traffic?
switch
What is a feature of Load Balancers?
Combines bandwidth and balances network traffic
