Broadcast Storm
A broadcast storm occurs when an incorrect packet is
sent out on a network, causing most hosts to respond
all at once and typically with wrong answers that start
the process over again. Broadcast storms use substantial
network bandwidth and may cause network time-outs.
Two tabs are available on the Broadcast Storm page:
