network 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.

network meltdown
(jargon) | network meltdown
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.
