Query

Please add to this. Where is this a problem. What kinds of networks. What usually causes it. This stub is about the extent of my knowledge/experience with such things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgarvage (talk • contribs)

This needs a diagram showing the looping etc. 195.195.0.77 14:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Info

commonly you can identify a broadcast storm by synchronous blinking of the switch.

"A misinterpretation is that a broadcast can be responded to with a broadcast. This is not true. A broadcast can, however, be issued to gather information needed to respond to an initially received broadcast. In a redundant looped topology this second broadcast can reach the interface that sent the initial broadcast."

what does this mean? a broadcast can indeed be responded to with a broadcast by a host or an application written to do this. the old "send ping to broadcast, from broadcast" (I think it is called chernobyl packet or something like that) used to work because the hosts would respond to the broadcast with one of their own. 65.51.90.2 (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see problems understanding the entire Misinterpretation section. It needs to be cleaned up. The whole article is marked for cleanup, in fact. --13:22, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Broadcast radiation → Broadcast storm – Never heard of layer-2 loops or broadcast storms being referred to as “broadcast radiation.” Sounds to me more like a term relating to electro-magnetic radiation.
