CSMA with Collision Detection
(CSMA / CD)
�� Rather than finish transmitting their frames,
which are irretrievably garbled anyway, the
stations should abruptly stop transmitting as
soon as the collision is detected. Quickly
terminating damaged frames saves time and
bandwidth.
�� This protocol, is the basis of the popular
Ethernet LAN.
