What is a segment?
Rating:
A segment is a part of a network that is separated by a switch, router, or bridge. It helps to deteriorate traffic and to improve speed of a LAN. In a properly segmented network, the traffic of a segment will remain within a single segment and will not go to another segment of the LAN.
