What is the problem that becomes serious as fiber optics network came into use?
The problem of collisions during the contention period becomes serious as fiber optics network came into use.
What are the characteristics of Contention based Protocols like CSMA/CD?
Contention based Protocols like CSMA/CD use Try-if collide-Retry and provide no guarantee of performance, especially when the network load is high.

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
