Collision domains are really bad. Not only does each computer get everyone's frames, but only one PC can transmit at a time! Your total bandwidth is reduced every time you add a PC to the network. Your network will come to a screeching halt!

What devices can you use to limit the size of a collision domain?
A switch or router will limit the number of clients in a collision domain, thus limiting what can be in the collision domain.
How does using a hub or a repeater affect the size of the collision domain?
A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain
What steps could you take to reduce the size of a collision domain?
by reducing the hosts
What causes a larger collision domain?
a collision domain is a group of devices where traffic from any one of them could collide with traffic from any other member of the same group. some devices help to shrink collision domains, like switches, while other devices can extend the size of a collision domain (like a hub).
How many collision and broadcast domain are there if a router is directly connected to hub?
A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
What is a single collison domain?
A collision domain is an area on the network where two devices may attempt to transmit at the same time. A hub has 1 collision domain overall. A switch has 1 collision domain per interface. The fewer devices in 1 collision domain, the better. ----
Are devices in a single collision domain in the same broadcast domain?
AnswerYes. You can't split a broadcast domain without also splitting the collision domain. The only devices that can split a broadcast domain are routers and layer 3 switches. Switches, bridges, and routers can all be used to split the collision domain. Hubs and repeaters do not split the collision domain or the broadcast domain.
When segmenting a LAN what device cannot be used to reduce the collision domain?
Hubs do not reduce collision domains. All devices connected to the hub are in a single collision domain, where as on a switch, each port is its own collision domain.
How do routers and switches separate collision domains?
in my opinion there is no any collision domain in the router......but switch has collision domains for each interfaces & hub has one collision domain
What is another name for contention domain?
Collision domain
How do you prevent collisions in a broadcasting domain?
You can't eliminate collision in a broadcasting domain. What you can do is to increase the number of collision domain within a broadcasting domain by using more switches. this will improve your network traffic because the more the collision domain, the better is your network in terms of data transmission performance.
Is the characteristics of hub is multiple collision domain?
A hub has a single collision domain, which is why it can cause problems when network traffic is high.
