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.

No references found			lt;p>Devin Akin, CTO at Wi-Fi training and certification company CWNP, recommends appropriately spacing out APs on the same channel to create multiple collision domains so that the aggregate system bandwidth shared by users remains abundant. Alternatives for high-capacity Wi-Fi coverage by Network World Middle East The primary network faults identified are: duplex conflict, rate limiting, congestion, suboptimal performance, media errors, collision domain violations, firewall limiting, black hole hops and grey hole hops. Caught in the middle: user expectations and network performance ... by Communications News 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.
