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 />
