What is Carrier Sense Multiple Access With Collision Detection CSMA/CD

Chapter 49
Handbook of Research on Telecommunications Planning and Management for Business
It is a network control protocol in which a carrier-sensing scheme is used. In CSMA/CD, a transmitting data station that detects another signal while transmitting a frame, stops transmitting that frame, transmits a jam signal, and then waits for a random time interval (known as “backoff delay” and determined using the truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm) before trying to send that frame again.

Abstract
This chapter presents high-speed networking technologies and standards such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Fast Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), Provider Backbone Bridges (PBB), Transport - Multi Protocol Label Switching (T-MPLS) and Optical Transport Network (OTN). It considers the requirements imposed to high-speed networks by multimedia applications and analyses crucial issues of high-speed networking such as bandwidth problems, discarding policies and fast broadcast. Finally, the chapter discusses future trends in high-speed multimedia networking.
