In CSMA/CD protocol, the adapter waits k x 512 bit times before attempting to send again after a collision where k is drawn randomly from a set of values determined by binary exponential backoff. If k = 100, the adapter will wait for 5.12 msec on a 10 Mbps broadcast channel.
A) True
B) False
In CSMA/CD protocol, the adapter waits k x 512 bit times before attempting to send again...
Consider using CSMA/CD for the channel access protocol on a 10 Mbps Ethernet. Assume NODE X has encountered 5 collisions for the same frame: a) What is the probability that this node chooses K=6 after the 4th collision? b) If K=6 is the random value chosen, how many seconds would the node delay before sensing the channel again?
