Local Broadcast and Directed Broadcasts - Demo and Packet Captures

Описание: In this video we'll pick apart Broadcasts -- specifically the difference between a Local Broadcast and a Directed Broadcast (which is sometimes referred to as a Targeted Broadcast).

We'll run through a few demonstrations of either type of broadcast. Then fire up Wireshark and take a look at the packets as they appear on the wire. This will illustrate clearly the difference between Layer 2 Broadcasts and Layer 3 Broadcasts.

This is the "long version" of this video. In the shorter version we simply talk through the concepts and do a couple ping tests.
