Questions and Answers

What are some protocols that can resolve collisions during the contention period?

Bit-map Protocol, Binary Countdown, Limited Contention Protocols, Adaptive Tree Walk Protocol, Pure and Slotted Aloha

What is the problem that becomes serious as fiber optics network came into use?

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
