A company's network often faces a situation where multiple devices send data simultaneously, causing data frames to collide and the network to become overloaded. Which mechanism can help alleviate this issue?
- CSMA/CD
- Error Detection
- Flow Control
- Fragmentation
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is a mechanism that helps alleviate the issue of data collisions in Ethernet networks. It allows devices to sense the carrier on the shared medium before transmitting data, reducing the likelihood of collisions.
