Jabber Lock-Up

Jabber Lock-Up is a scheme in hubs to ensure that the network is not disabled due to transmission of excessively long data packets. This protection scheme will automatically interrupt the reception of abnormally long streams of data to prevent jabber lock-up. Jabber lock-up protects the medium from being overrun with data packets from a possibly defective device.
