Question

Consider the working of CSMA/CD protocol. The adapter waits K + 512 bit times after a
collision is detected, where K is randomly selected. If K is 128, then how long does the adapter
wait until returning to Step 2 for a 10 Gbps broadcast channel and for a 100 Gbps broadcast
channel?

Answer 2

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a network protocol for carrier transmission that operates in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer

Explanation:

The adapter waits K + 512-bit times after a

collision is detected, where K is randomly selected. If K is 128,

Wait for 51,200 -bit times.

For 10 Mbps, this wait is

51.2 x $10^{3}$ bits : 10 x $10^{6}$ bps = 5.12 msec

For 100 Mbps, the wait is 512 µsec.
