Practical Networking's video: Local Broadcast and Directed Broadcasts - Demo and Packet Captures

In this video we'll pick apart Broadcasts -- specifically the difference between a Local Broadcast and a Directed Broadcast (which is sometimes referred to as a Targeted Broadcast). We'll run through a few demonstrations of either type of broadcast. Then fire up Wireshark and take a look at the packets as they appear on the wire. This will illustrate clearly the difference between Layer 2 Broadcasts and Layer 3 Broadcasts. This is the "long version" of this video. In the shorter version we simply talk through the concepts and do a couple ping tests. 00:00 - Start / Topology Introduction 00:22 - Definition of a Broadcast 00:47 - L2 Broadcast vs L3 Broadcast 01:35 - Local Broadcast 02:12 - Pinging the Local Broadcast 03:21 - Wireshark - Looking at a Unicast Ping 04:10 - Wireshark - Pinging the Local Broadcast IP address 05:18 - Directed Broadcast (Targeted Broadcast) 05:49 - Wireshark - Pinging the Directed Broadcast IP of the Local Subnet 08:34 - Directed Broadcasts for Foreign Networks 10:29 - Wireshark - Studying a Unicast ping to a foreign network 12:00 - Wireshark - Pinging the Directed Broadcast IP of a Foreign Subnet 13:57 - Directed Broadcast starts as Unicast, then becomes Broadcast 15:59 - Summary 16:34 - Security Implication of Directed Broadcasts 17:18 - Enabling Directed Broadcast on Cisco Routers and Linux Hosts 18:31 - Outro Link to correlating article which includes PCAP files you can download: https://www.practicalnetworking.net/stand-alone/local-broadcast-vs-directed-broadcast/
