Transmission media * Transmission media * Transmission media * Transmission media * Purpose: Introduce the problem of broadcast traffic and the effect it has on network performance. Emphasize: The major problem with the single broadcast domain networks is broadcast traffic. Broadcasts are necessary for a station to reach multiple stations with a single packet when the specific address of each intended recipient is not known by the sending node. Broadcast traffic also occurs when end stations malfunction and flood the network with “jabber” traffic. Performance is impacted when broadcasts are sent when devices need to send IP Address Resolution Rotocol (ARP) requests, NetBIOS name requests, or Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX?) Get Nearest Server requests. These types of broadcasts typically flood the entire subnet and have the target device respond directly to the broadcast. Performance is impacted when broadcasts are sent when devices advertise IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets or routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) send route updates. Multicast traffic can also impact performance by consuming bandwidth. Managing packet replication is an important consideration when increasing the size of your network or integrating broadcast-type LANs. Examples of multicast traffic are Cisco IPTV and Novell NetWare 5. Transition: The following describes broadcast issues. Transmission media * Purpose: Describe the effects of broadcast traffic in a large, single broadcast domain network. Emphasize: The lack of filtering can be a serious problem in modern distributed networks where broadcast messages are used to resolve addresses and dynamically discover network resources such as file servers. Broadcasts originating from each segment are received by every computer in the network. Most devices discard broadcasts because they are irrelevant, which means that large amounts of bandwidth are wasted by t
