network layer broadcasts are sent to all hosts attached to a particular logical network. the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (tcp/ip) supports the following types of broadcast packets: all ones—by setting the broadcast address to all ones (255.255.255.255), all hosts on the network receive the broadcast. network—by setting the broadcast address to a specific network number in the network portion of the ip address and setting all ones in the host portion of the broadcast address, all hosts on the specified network receive the broadcast. for example, when a broadcast packet is sent with the broadcast address of 131.108.255.255, all hosts on network number 131.108 receive the broadcast. subnet—by setting the broadcast address to a specific network number and a specific subnet number, all hosts on the specified subnet receive the broadcast. for example, when a broadcast packet is set with the broadcast address of 131.108.4.255, all hosts on subnet 4 of network 131.108 receive the broadcast. because broadcasts are recognized by all hosts, a significant goal of router configuration is to control unnecessary proliferation of broadcast packets. cisco routers support two kinds of broadcasts: directed and flooded. a directed broadcast is a packet sent to a specific network or series of networks, whereas a flooded broadcast is a packet sent to every network. in ip internetworks, most broadcasts take the form of user datagram protocol (udp) broadcasts.
in the brokerage community, applications use udp broadcasts to transport market data to the desktops of traders on the trading floor. this case study gives examples of how brokerages have implemented both directed and flooding broadcast schemes in an environment that consists of cisco routers and sun workstations. figure 19-1 illustrates a typical topology. note that the addresses in this network use a 10-bit netmask of 255.255.255.192. 【程序编程相关:如何快速的配置Cisco PIX Fir】although current ip implementations use a broadcast address of all ones, the first ip implementations used a broadcast address of all zeros. many of the early implementations do not recognize broadcast addresses of all ones and fail to respond to the broadcast correctly. other early implementations forward broadcasts of all ones, which causes a serious network overload known as a broadcast storm. implementations that exhibit these problems include systems based on versions of bsd unix prior to version 4.3. 【推荐阅读:auto secure命令的使用】560)this.style.width=560; onmousewheel = javascript:return big(this) src="/files/uploadimg/20060622/1555000.gif"> 【扩展信息:两台思科路由器互相升级IOS过程】figure 19-1: topology that requires udp broadcast forwarding. in figure 19-1, udp broadcasts must be forwarded from a source segment (feed network) to many destination segme... 下一页
