collision domain |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
collision domainA group of nodes in an Ethernet network that compete with each other for access. If two or more devices try to access the network at the exact same time, a collision will occur. A collision domain is typically confined to a subnet. In a switched Ethernet environment, each transmitting-receiving pair of nodes is essentially its own collision domain, except that no collisions can occur, because there is no sharing of bandwidth. See broadcast domain and CSMA/CD. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

However, it is important to note that the 100BaseTX constrains the collision domain distance between two repeaters to 5 meters, and between the repeaters and terminal devices to 100 meters. Tentatively referred to as EdgeCAR, this added function permits higher scalability in the network by allowing groups of eight ports to share a collision domain, instead of every available port sharing that domain.
