To begin, we must have a more formal definition of what a LAN is. LAN stands for local area network. Hubs and switches usually are thought of as participating in a single LAN. Normally, if you connect ...

VLANs break a physical LAN into several logical broadcast domains. Each LAN station hears traffic sent by its own VLAN but receives nothing from stations in other VLANs -- not even from those ...

I fondly remember the days when I was a broadcast engineer. These days, most of my work is administrative, meaning that I “fly a desk” most of the time with very little time spent doing anything ...

The IEEE’s 802.1Q standard was developed to address the problem of how to break large networks into smaller parts so broadcast and multicast traffic wouldn’t grab more bandwidth than necessary. The ...
