Topic: Collision domain

	Collision domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A collision domain is a logical area in a computer network where data packets can "collide" with one another, in particular in the Ethernet networking protocol.
		A collision domain can be a single segment sex Ethernet cable in shared-media Ethernet, or a single Ethernet hub in twisted-pair Ethernet, or even a whole network of hubs and repeaters.
		Ethernet hubs, repeaters) forward all data that is sent on the media and therefore extend collision domains.

	Hubs versus Switches: Understand the Tradeoffs
		Collisions must be sensed by all stations on the network in order to discard the transmitted frame that has been corrupted and to notify all stations that bus arbitration is occurring.
		Repeating hubs are considered part of the collision domain and for reliable operation of a shared Ethernet network, the network diameter must not exceed the collision domain (see Figure 1).
		However, the collision domain rules for each link segment on a particular port must be followed since it is possible that repeating hubs are attached to switch ports.

		A collision domain is a group of Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices that are directly connected by repeaters.
		A collision occurs if DTE B begins transmitting before the signal from DTE A is heard by the CSMA/CD MAC of DTE B. If this is the case all DTE's in the collision domain will "hear" the collision and they send a collision signal onto the network.
		The diameter of the collision domain is the distance between the two furthest nodes.

	Layer 2 Switching and Bridging
		Recall from earlier in the series that a collision domain is simply a group of computers amongst which data collisions can occur.
		Collisions are obviously a bad thing, since when they occur, systems much resend their data, which leads to less-than-optimal throughput.
		The reason for the reduction is collisions when a bridge is implemented in due to the intelligent nature of a bridge.

		Broadcast Domain: A domain where every broadcast (a broadcast is a frame or data which is sent to every computer) is seen by all computers within the domain.
		In a collision domain, when a collision occurs everyone in that domain/area will hear it and will be affected.
		Collisions and the fact that only one computer can talk on the network at any given time along with the cabling rules are all part of the Ethernet rules.

	Garrett Communications - Path Delay Value (PDV) - Presented by Bomara Associates
		A collision domain is a cluster of network devices connected together (without bridging) wherein a broadcast Ethernet packet travels to all of the nodes.
		In any real installation, the most significant collision domain path is the longest path in terms of propagation delay since that is the path that is the limiting factor for that installation.
		Since two Class II repeaters must be useable in a collision domain, and since only 190 BT of the delay budget is available for both of them, it can be seen that the PDV of a Class II repeater is 95 (i.e., half of 190) BT.

		Collisions occur on Ethernet networks when two nodes on the 'network' start transmitting data at exactly the same time and the two frames collide.
		They do not control broadcast or collision domains, they are not aware of upper-layer protocols and frame formats, they merely regenerate/amplify the signal.
		If the collision LED flashes repeatedly or continuously, the NIC maybe be configured incorrectly or may be malfunctioning, or there may be other devices utilizing the network heavily.

		If a transmitting node experiences a collision of a frame that has been cleared from its buffer (late collision), the transmitting node must use the processing power of the end-station to regenerate and retransmit the frame -- a process left to the upper layers, which results in a highly inefficient system.
		The round-trip propagation delay in a collision domain must not exceed 512 bit times, which is a requirement for collision detection to work correctly.
		The maximum size of a collision domain for Fast Ethernet is dependent upon the type of repeater(s) used to connect network segments.

	7.3 Collision Domain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An Ethernet system composed of a single segment or multiple segments linked with repeaters is a network that functions as a single collision domain.
		In the next figure, the repeaters and DTEs are instead separated by a packet switch (switching hub, bridge, or router), and are therefore in separate collision domains, since packet switches do not forward collision signals from one segment to another.
		As long as each collision domain is configured properly it will function correctly, and you can link many such networks together using packet switching hubs.

		Collisions are obviously a bad thing; when they occur, systems must resend their data, which leads to less-than-optimal throughput.
		Consider the diagram below, in which the bridge breaks the network up into 3 collision domains.
		Because of this, many people consider a switch to be a magic box, and in a way it is - there aren't many ways to squeeze dramatically better performance out of a network than by replacing hubs with switches.

		Broadcast domain is the logical set of computers reachable without going through a router.
		For most IP broadcasts, the broadcast domain is limited to the logical IP subnet.
		Collision domain is at a lower layer, and refers to the set of devices that there could be a packet collision with.

		The multi-segment configuration guidelines apply only to a single Ethernet "collision domain." A collision domain is formally defined as a single CSMA/CD network in which there will be a collision if two computers attached to the system transmit at the same time.
		Instead of propagating collision signals between Ethernet segments, packet switches interrupt the collision domain and allow the Ethernets they link to operate independently.
		Therefore, the guidelines apply to a single collision domain only and have nothing to say about combining multiple Ethernets with packet switches.

		The scope of the multi-segment configuration guidelines is limited to a single Ethernet, or collision domain.
		A collision domain is formally defined as a single CSMA/CD network in which there will be a collision if two computers attached to the system both transmit at the same time.
		The repeaters and DTEs in Figure 14.2 are instead separated by a packet switch (switching hub, bridge, or router), and are therefore in separate collision domains, since packet switches do not forward collision signals from one segment to another.
