Ethernet uses the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) media access method. It allows multiple devices to share the same communication channel, and each device checks whether the channel is busy or not before transmitting data. In case multiple devices attempt to transmit at the same time and cause a collision, CSMA/CD helps to detect the collision and retransmit data after a random delay.
