[c-nsp] Network Size

[jexum at harding.edu]

This may be one of those obvious questions but I'll ask anyway...

Are there any guidlines for how many systems should be in one network (broadcast domain).

I currently have 2000-2100 systems in one network here on my campus and we seem to have some issues with being to large, poor performance mostly not related to errors.  I have often read articles saying if your network is to large you need to split it up.  They just never seem to define "to large".
