Hi I am actually trying to find the difference between Bridge-domain and Broadcast domain ? I am learning VXLAN.

In the context of VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), a bridge domain is used to extend Layer 2 connectivity across Layer 3 boundaries. VXLAN allows for the creation of virtualized Layer 2 networks over an existing Layer 3 infrastructure. By using VXLAN, bridge domains can be extended across multiple physical locations, enabling communication between devices in different data centers or geographical locations.
