Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a station sensing the medium for the presence of another transmission (carrier) before starting its own transmission?

  • To optimize the overall network throughput
  • To coordinate the transmission schedule with other stations
  • To ensure that the station has exclusive access to the medium
  • To reduce the possibility of a collision occurring (correct)
  • What is the reason given in the text for why all stations immediately know when a frame is sent by a station?

  • The propagation time in a LAN is very small (correct)
  • The stations are configured to continuously monitor the medium
  • The stations are equipped with high-speed network interfaces
  • The stations are using a centralized coordination mechanism
  • What is the primary reason for avoiding transmissions that are certain to cause collisions?

  • To reduce the overall network traffic
  • To prevent the network from becoming overloaded
  • To minimize the number of retransmissions required
  • To improve the performance of the LAN (correct)
  • What is the main limitation of the approach described in the text for reducing the possibility of collisions?
