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).

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.

Can you have broadcasts at the Layer 2 level If so what would the MAC address be?

Yes, broadcasts can occur at the Layer 2 level in a network using Ethernet. The MAC address used for broadcast is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, which signifies that the frame should be sent to all devices on the local network segment. When a device sends a frame with this MAC address, all devices within the same broadcast domain will receive and process the frame.


What kind of frame gets received by all NICs in a LAN?

A broadcast frame is received by all Network Interface Cards (NICs) in a Local Area Network (LAN). This type of frame is sent to the broadcast address, typically represented as FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF in Ethernet networks. All devices on the network recognize this address and process the broadcast frame, allowing for communication to all devices simultaneously.

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 is broadcast ID?

A broadcast ID, often referred to as a broadcast address, is a special network address used to send data packets to all devices within a specific subnet or network segment. Instead of targeting individual IP addresses, packets sent to the broadcast address are received by all devices on that network, facilitating communication and data sharing. In IPv4 addressing, the broadcast address is typically the highest address in a subnet. For example, in the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, the broadcast address would be 192.168.1.255.
