Broadcast traffic

DHCP Request message sent as broadcast

MAC address

Network - broadcast domain

Security - storm control algorithm

Switching - Media Access Control (MAC) addresses


A broadcast [Ethernet](/ethernet) frame will have the broadcast [MAC](/switching-media-access-control-mac-addresses) address in the destination address field of the Ethernet header.  The broadcast MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.  A frame with this destination address will be sent to all hosts within a particular network segment/broadcast domain.

During encapsulation, an IP packet with a [broadcast IP address](/ipv4-network-and-broadcast-addresses) in the destination IP address field will be further encapsulated into an Ethernet frame.  The device looks at the destination IP address, and determines that it is a broadcast address.  Thus the destination MAC address used in such a frame is the broadcast MAC address.
