Rating:
Broadcast storm is a situation in which one or more network devices send jabber packets constantly and increase traffic. A faulty network interface card (NIC) that sends jabber packets can be detected by the network monitor software.
A faulty NIC and a down server that serves network resources to the network client computer can cause a broadcast storm on the network.
