network meltdown
<networking> (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.
