I am happy to see @padresj join the crew of #twitkh! TWIET is one of my favorite shows and the Padre has always done an excellent job providing an informative broadcast. I look forward to seeing more enterprise-level stuff being executed as smaller DIY projects at home! Iyaz & the Padre definitely make a dynamic duo!

Lawrence Smith III That is absolutely the case, but in our example we were talking about broadcast packets, which would hit all ports except for the port at which the frame originated. 

 

Also, if one device is trying to access another device, the MAC address of which is not currently in the table of the switch(es), the frame will be broadcast across all ports (except the originating) in much the same way as it is done in a hub. Once the switch(es) know the port to which that other device is connected (i.e. that MAC address is listed for that port) then the switch(es) will only send that frame to that particular port.
