A collision domain is a section of a network connected by a shared medium or through repeaters where data packets can collide with one another when being sent, particularly when using early versions of Ethernet.
Switches differ from hubs in that each port is its own collision domain, thus other attacks must be used to capture packets destined to a target on a different collision domain.
