collision domain
(redirected from Ethernet collision domain)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
collision domain
A 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.
