CSMA /CD vs CSMA /CA

How are collisions mitigated on Ethernet networks?

Full duplex switches are used in place of hubs that create and expand collision domains. Carrier Sense Multiple Access or CSMA is a protocol that is used to control the flow of data in a transmission media so that packets do not get lost and data integrity is maintained. There are two variations to CSMA, the CSMA CD (Collision Detection) and CSMA CA (Collision Avoidance).

CSMA /CD vs CSMA /CA--Recovery Time

CSMA/CA reduces the possibility of a collision while CSMA/CD only minimizes the recovery time.

Which will listen to ensure there is no traffic transmitting and implement a back-off timer if a collision occurs?

CSMA/CD

CSMA /CD vs CSMA /CA--Wired or Wireless

CSMA/CD is typically used in wired networks while CSMA/CA is used in wireless networks.

CSMA /CD vs CSMA /CA--Before/after collision

CSMA/CD takes effect after a collision while CSMA/CA takes effect before a collision.

What is it called when two or more devices simultaneously send data on a shared Ethernet segment, resulting in data corruption?
