Are there situations when this happens in a network with hubs only that transmit IPX traffic?<br />

TCP/IP is involved because broadcast storms generally involve Wide Area Networks and hense Inter/Intranet.<br />

If you are experiencing this problem with IPX you may want turn off bridging on your bridge to see what the effect is. You may want to look at your network segmentation. I know of several companies that were sharing one network which caused broadcast stroming, however that was with tcp/ip as well. This effect with IPX is unusual.<br />

Broadcast Storms

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
