Broadcast (Computer Technology)

This refers to a method of sending information over a network. With broadcasting, data comes from one source and goes to all other connected sources. This has the side effect of congesting a medium or large network quickly. Sometimes, broadcasting is necessary to locate network resources, but once found, more advanced networking protocols change to point to point connections to transmit data. Nowadays, switches and routers often do not pass along broadcast packets, but in the days of shared Ethernet, broadcasting could really congest a network with packets quickly.
