English term or phrase: flood domain
Hi everyone!

I'm really not sure what that means.

Here's some context:
"The extension of Layer 2 domains across multiple data centers can cause the data centers to share failures that would normally have been isolated when interconnecting data centers over an IP network. These failures propagate freely over the open Layer 2 flood domain. A solution that provides Layer 2 connectivity yet restricts the reach of the flood domain is needed to contain failures and preserve the resiliency achieved through the use of multiple data centers."

Thanks in advance for your precious help.

domaine saturé


Explanation:
Bonjour, ce n’est qu’une suggestion
Si le risque en question est lié à la propagation d’une défaillance causée par l’inondation d’un serveur, on peut parler de congestion du réseau et de saturation des ressources. :"Domaine inondé" pourrait alors également convenir. Le flooding est défini dans le contexte des attaques par déni de service (wiki).

disagree  Daryo: not that kind of flooding - it's a bit more complicated than that - got to do with layers in the OSI model of networking - and switches/bridges/routers... just a starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_loop
