Question

How does the CSMA/CD protocol resolve when two network adapters on the same network transmit at the same time?

Answer 1

Answer:

If two network adapters on the same network transmit at the same time, one of the adapters would stop transmitting until the second adapter has finished transmitting before retransmission

Explanation:

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a network protocol used to prevent data collision. CSMA/CD detects collisions by sensing transmissions from other nodes. If a collision is detected, the node stops transmitting, sends a jam signal, and then waits for some time until the channel is idle before retransmission.

If two nodes on the network start transmitting at the same time, the nodes will detect the collision and take the appropriate action.

If two network adapters on the same network transmit at the same time, one of the adapters would stop transmitting until the second adapter has finished transmitting before retransmission
