What Is A "collision"? |
|
Answer» At any one instance, in an ETHERNET network, only one device can transmit. If two devices transmit at the same instance, then the signals from both devices will COLLIDE and a "COLLISION" will OCCUR. When a "collision" occurs, the signals will GET distorted and the frame will be lost. Collisions are very common in a Ethernet network.
