    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(computer_networking)

    Flooding is used in computer network routing algorithms in which every incoming packet is sent through every outgoing link except the one it arrived on. [ 1 ] Flooding is used in bridging and in systems such as Usenet and peer-to-peer file sharing and as part of some routing protocols , including OSPF , DVMRP , and those used in ad-hoc wireless ...

    For example, it might add a port number to identify the application, a network address to help with routing, a code to identify the type of data in the packet and error-checking information. All this additional information, plus the original service data unit from the higher layer, constitutes the protocol data unit at this layer.
