CSMA/ CD and Collisions

• most CSMA/ CD protocols use a 1-persisent protocol to handle collisions

  • examples

    • Ethernet
    • MitreNet
    • IEEE 802.3 standard
  • although more collisons may occur, time to recover from them is shorter

    • as long as frames are long relative to propagation delay
