arrier ense ultiple ccess/ ollision etect. The Ethernet protocol for sending signals through the wire. Any device can try to send a packet at any time. A device will sense whether the line is idle. If it is, the device sends its first packet. If another device has tried to transmit data at the same time, a collision happens and the packets are discarded (or dropped). Each device then waits a random amount of time before retrying until its transmission is sent.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) is the protocol for carrier transmission access in Ethernet networks. On Ethernet, any device can try to send a frame at any time. Each device senses whether the line is idle and therefore available to be used. If it is, the device begins to transmit its first frame. If another device has tried to send at the same time, a collision is said to occur and the frames are discarded. Each device then waits a random amount of time and retries until successful in getting its transmission sent.

A network medium access method in which each participating station waits for a clear channel before starting to transmit a packet. As part of the communications protocol, each participating st ation is able to detect collisions and retransmit.

Carrier Sensed Multiple Access/Collision Detection. A method of transmitting information in the LAN environment where only one transmitter is on the line at any one time. If two devices transmit simultaneously, the signals collide and transmissions temporarily cease. The Ethernet IEEE-802.3 standard uses CSMA/CD technology.

Wired Ethernet LAN devices use this protocol to minimize collisions and then recover from them when they do occur. First, each device waits for a clear line before beginning to transmit. If two devices begin to transmit simultaneously, a collision occurs. When devices detect a collision, they set a random timer and wait to re-send until it has expired. Back

Channel access method used by Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards in which devices transmit only after finding the data channel clear for some period of time. When two devices transmit simultaneously, a collision occurs and the colliding devices delay their retransmissions for a random amount of time.

Customer Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection. The principal media access control strategy used to manage traffic and reduce noise on wired Ethernet networks. It allows a network device to transmit data after detecting a channel is available. If two devices transmit data simultaneously, the sending device detects the collision of data packets and retransmits after a random time delay. (See collision avoidance, CSMA/CA). close

A characteristic of network hardware that operates by allowing multiple stations to contend for access to a transmission medium by listening to see if the medium is idle, and a mechanism that allows the hardware to detect when two stations simultaneously attempt transmission.

(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) - Access protocol for Ethernet.

(Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) The style of network access used by Ethernet and IEEE 802.3.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. An access method used in Ethernet in which each node always listens to detect if another node is already transmitting. Once it finds that the shared medium is idle, it starts sending its packets while listening to detect if another node also starts sending at the same time. If a collision happens, it retransmits the packets after sensing that the line is clear again. Also see contention, multiple access, collision and Ethernet.

Carrier Sense, Multiple Access with Collision Detection, different devices on a network may try to communicate at any one time, so access methods need to be established. Using the CSMA/CD access method, a device first checks that the cable is free from other carriers and then transmits, while continuing to monitor the presence of another carrier. If a collision is detected, the device stops transmitting and tries later. In a CSMA network with collision detection, all stations have the ability to sense traffic on the network.

See carrier sense multiple access with collision detection.

The access method used in Ethernet. All nodes are attached to a single cable and contend equally for access to the transmission medium. if two nodes attempt to send data at the same time, they "sense" each other's signal and immediately stop sending. They will both try to send again after Waiting a random number of microseconds.

The acronym for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection; a LAN transmission technique implemented in Layer 2 of the OSI model and employed by 10Mbps Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access Collision Detection is a network access method in which devices that are ready to transmit data first check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed, a device can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and each computer backs off and waits a random amount of time before attempting to retransmit. This is the access method used by Ethernet.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection A channel access mechanism wherein devices wishing to transmit first check the channel for carrier. If no carrier is sensed for some period of time, devices can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and is detected by all colliding devices, which subsequently delay their retransmissions for some random length of time. CSMA/CD access is used by Ethernet and IEEE 802.3. Glossary

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect – A protocol for carrier transmission that interrupts data transmission when a collision is detected.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect. Before a device sends a packet it checks to see if another device is already transmitting. If the line is clear it will send it's packet. If two devices start sending at the same time a 'collision' is caused, the devices can detect this collision, and will each wait a random amount of time before re-trying. This is the access method used by Ethernet.

Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection - The network-access method used by Ethernet networks.

The standard access method used in Ethernet networks such as bus and star topologies.

The medium access method used in Ethernet to avoid having more than one host transmitting on a LAN segment at a time. The transmitting host first listens for traffic on the cable and then transmits, if no traffic is detected. If two hosts transmit at the same time, a collision occurs. Each host then waits for a random length of time before listening and transmitting again.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect. The medium access control (MAC) Protocol used in Ethernet.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection This is the access procedure to the Ethernet in which the participating stations physically monitor the traffic on the line. If no transmission is taking place at the time the particular station can transmit.If two stations attempt to transmit simultaneously this causes a collision which is detected by all participating stations. After a random time interval the stations that collided attempt to transmit again. If another collision occurs the time intervals from which the random waiting time is selected are increased step by step. Networks using the CSMA/CD procedure are simple to implement but do not have deterministic transmission characteristics. The CSMA/CD method is internationally standardized in IEEE 802.3 and ISO 8802.3.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. CSMA/CD is the access method used in Ethernet where nodes contend for the right to send data.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. A contention access method in which devices wishing to transmit first listen to the transmission medium. When no carrier signal is sensed, the machine transmits. If two machines transmit simultaneously, a collison is detected and each of the machines retransmits after a random period of time.

Carrier sense multiple access/collision detection. CSMA/CD is a protocol that allows each node to sense whether or not a channel is in use before attempting to transmit information. If it detects no other carrier, it transmits. If a collision is detected, the device stops transmitting, waits a random length of time, and begins transmitting again.

Carrier sense multiple access/collision detection. Access method used by stations connected to an Ethernet LAN, defined by the IEEE 802.3 specification. Stations contend for access to the shared media, and a collision results if two stations send packets at the same time. Collisions are normal, and the CSMA/CD method quickly restores the network to normal activity.

Networking. Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. Media access method used in Ethernet networks. When an Ethernet card needs to send data, it first checks to see if the media is free. If the media is free the data is sent. If another station on the network transmits at the same, the card backs off for a random period of time. The card then repeats the process in order to retransmit the data.

Abbreviation for carrier sense multiple access with collision detection. A network control protocol in which (a) a carrier sensing is used and (b) while a transmitting data station that detects another signal while transmitting a frame, stops transmitting that frame, waits for a jam signal, and then waits for a random time interval before trying to send that frame again.
