Flooding (computer networking)
ID: flooding-computer-networking
Flooding in computer networking is a simple networking technique used to disseminate packets across a network. In flooding, when a packet arrives at a node, the node forwards the packet to all of its outgoing links (except the one it came from) without any regard for the destination address of the packet. This process continues until the packet reaches its intended destination or until it is discarded after traversing a certain number of hops.
