n 1: severe overheating of the core of a nuclear reactor
resulting in the core melting and radiation escaping [syn:
meltdown, nuclear meltdown]
2: a disaster comparable to a nuclear meltdown; "there is little
likelihood of a meltdown comparable to the American banking
collapse in March 1933" |
meltdown
(foldoc) | network meltdown
meltdown
(By analogy with catastrophic failure of a
nuclear reactor) An event that causes saturation, or near
saturation, of a network. Network meltdown usually results
from illegal or misrouted packets (see Chernobyl packet)
and typically lasts only a short time. It may also be caused
by a hardware fault. It is the network equivalent of
thrashing.

Y2K
(Y2K, or "millennium bug") A common name for all
the difficulties the turn of the century, or dates in general,
bring to computer users.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the turn of the century looked so
remote and memory/disk was so expensive that most programs
stored only the last two digits of the year. These produce
surprising results when dealing with dates after 1999. They
may believe that 1 January 2000 is before 31 December 1999

n.
A state of complete network overload; the network equivalent of thrash
ing. This may be induced by a Chernobyl packet. See also {broadcast storm
}, kamikaze packet.
Network meltdown is often a result of network designs that are optimized
for a steady state of moderate load and don't cope well with the very
jagged, bursty usage patterns of the real world. One amusing instance of
this is triggered by the popular and very bloody shoot-'em-up game Doom on
the PC. When used in multiplayer mode over a network, the game uses
broadcast packets to inform other machines when bullets are fired. This
causes problems with weapons like the chain gun which fire rapidly — it can
blast the network into a meltdown state just as easily as it shreds
opposing monsters.
