Study Notes
Collision Free Protocols
- Collisions can be avoided in CSMA/CD, but they can still occur during the contention period.
- Collisions during the contention period affect system performance, especially when the cable is long and packet lengths are short.
- This problem becomes more serious in fiber optics networks.
Contention-Based Protocols
- Examples: Pure and slotted Aloha, CSMA, and CSMA/CD
- Characteristics: Try-if-collide-retry, no guarantee of performance
- Disadvantages: Poor performance when network load is high
Collision-Free Protocols
- Characteristics: Pay constant overhead to achieve performance guarantee
- Advantages: Good performance when network load is high
Bit-Map Protocol
- A collision-free protocol
- Each contention period consists of exactly N slots
- When a station needs to send a frame, it reserves a slot in the contention period
- This protocol ensures collision-free transmission
