Poor network segmentation can lead to serious Layer 2 and Layer 3 problems. In this episode, we explain how excessive collision domains on legacy hubs or poorly configured switches can slow performance and cause retransmissions. We also dive into broadcast storms—where unchecked broadcast traffic floods the network—and routing loops, which occur when routers send traffic in circles due to misconfiguration.
