CSMA/CD
- Carrier Sense Multiple access with Collision Detection
- It is a network protocol.
- It operates in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer.
- Carrier Sense: it senses or listens whether the shared channel is busy or idle.
- It defers data transmission until the channel is idle.
- It detects collision and when collision occurs data transmission is stopped.
- It waits for a random amount of time before retransmission.
