A host is transmitting a broadcast. Which host or hosts will receive it?
- all hosts in the same subnet
- a specially defined group of hosts
- the closest neighbor on the same network
- all hosts on the Internet
| Explanation & Hint:
When a broadcast is sent to the broadcast address of a subnet, all hosts within that same subnet will receive it. This is a common characteristic of traditional IP networks. However, it’s important to note that the use of broadcasts is discouraged in modern networking due to its potential for causing network congestion. Multicast and unicast communication are generally more efficient and common ways to transmit data to specific hosts or groups of hosts in a network. |
