Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection(CSMA/CD)

CSMA/CD is a set of rules or standard governing how you talk on an Ethernet network. Each words are explained thus:
Carrier: The network signal i.e there must be a network signal sent on Ethernet.
Sense: The ability to detect i.e the ability of all the Pcs connected to the same Ethernet to detect if there is carrier signal at a time.
Multiple Access: This means that all devices have equal access.
Collision: What happens if two devices are trying to detect the presence of a signal. They will end up sending impulses at the same time. Hence causing collision.
Detection: it has to do with how the computers in the network handle collision i.e how to are able to detect collision and then resend the data across the network.

For me, it gladdens my heart when ever am permitted to share the surface and minute knowledge that have about ICT with the rest of the world.
