Collision-Free Collision Free Protocols<br />
�� The collisions affect the system performance, especially when<br />
the cable is long and the frames are short. And CSMA/CD is not<br />
universally applicable.<br />
�� Some protocols resolve the contention for the channel without<br />
any collisions at all. Most of these are not currently used in<br />
major systems, but in a rapidly changing field, having some<br />
protocols with excellent properties available for future systems<br />
is often a good thing.<br />
Assumptions:<br />
�� Tthere are exactly N stations, each with a unique address from<br />
0 to N - 1 '‘hardcoded<br />
'‘ hardcoded' ' into it.<br />
�� It does not matter that some stations may be inactive part of<br />
the time.<br />
�� The propagation delay is negligible.<br />
