Question

Explain limited contention protocol with an example. What are its advantages over full contention and collision free protocols?

Answer 1

Answer:

Limited-Contention Protocols. Computer NetworkComputer EngineeringMCA. Limited Contention Protocols are the media access control (MAC) protocols that combines the advantages of collision based protocols and collision free protocols. They behave like slotted ALOHA under light loads and bitmap protocols under heavy loads.

Answer 2

Answer:

☑ Limited Contention Protocols: Collision based protocols (pure and slotted ALOHA, CSMA/CD) are good when the network load is low. Collision free protocols (bitmap, binary Countdown) are good when load is high. Behave like the bitmap scheme under heavy load.
