• I am interested in the article being as accurate as possible. But adding comments in an article that make it argue with itself, revert warring, and creation of nonsensical articles as a complaint against "autobots" is not the way to go. (In any case, we are NOT going to disable the anti-vandalism bots. Technically, your edit wasn't vandalism, but it still didn't belong in the article.)

  I am not an expert in network protocols. However, User:Zac67 has responded on the article talk page, saying that you were mistaken: "A broadcast domain is the domain of nodes that are addressed by a layer 2 broadcast – a destination MAC of all 1s (on Ethernet)". (I do recall from a network class at the university I attended that such addressing exists; a typical usage is when a computer needs to obtain its IP address from DHCP.) If you want to pursue this issue further, please do it on the article talk page or with the user himself. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In case anyone's interested: I've been a network engineer for 20+ years and there must be some things that I know about. I've deployed pretty much every Ethernet flavor from 10BASE2 to 1000BASE-LX and could show you some certificates if required. The whole talk page discussion is complete nonsense. There are broadcasts on layer 3/IP but there are broadcasts on layer 2/Ethernet as well – actually, L3 broadcasts employ L2 broadcasts to get the job done. It's the latter (L2) that the term broadcast domain refers to. L2 broadcasts are used by DHCP, ARP, RIPv1, IPX SAP, and so on. Zac67 (talk) 21:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
