The random delay in CSMA/CD Ethernet communication is __________.
A) the amount of time it takes for a frame to be transmitted across an Ethernet link
B) the amount of time it takes for a transceiver to detect a collision
C) the amount of time a transceiver will wait after a collision before attempting to transmit the frame again
D) the amount of time it takes to transmit an entire Ethernet frame, including possible retransmissions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In CSMA/CD, after a collision is detected, a random backoff algorithm is used to determine how long a transceiver should wait before attempting to retransmit, to minimize the chance of repeated collisions.
