<p>In <a href="page.php?w=computer_network">computer network</a>ing, a <b>unicast flood</b> occurs when a switch receives a <a href="page.php?w=unicast">unicast</a> frame and the switch does not know that the addressee is on any particular switch port. Since the switch has no information regarding which port, if any, the addressee might be reached through, it forwards the frame through all ports aside from the one through which the frame was received.</p>
