Study Notes
CSMA/CD vs CSMA/CA
- CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) operates after a collision occurs, while CSMA/CA (Collision Avoidance) functions to prevent collisions before they happen.
- CSMA/CA reduces collision likelihood through careful traffic management, whereas CSMA/CD focuses on minimizing recovery times after collisions happen.
- CSMA/CD is predominantly used in wired networks, whereas CSMA/CA is primarily utilized in wireless networks.
Definitions and Concepts
- A collision occurs when two or more devices transmit data simultaneously on a shared Ethernet segment, leading to data corruption.
- Collision mitigation on Ethernet networks is enhanced through full duplex switches, replacing hubs to control collision domains effectively.
- CSMA as a protocol regulates data flow over transmission media, ensuring packets remain intact and data integrity is preserved.
Specific Mechanisms
- CSMA/CD monitors network traffic and implements a back-off timer to manage retransmissions if a collision is detected.
