Broadcast domain
A broadcast domain is a logical area in a computer network where any computer connected to the computer network can directly transmit to any other in the domain without having to go through a routing device.
More specifically it is an area of the computer network made up of all the computers and networking devices able to be reached by sending a frame to the data link layer broadcast address.
Compare with Collision domain.
