it prevents the collision between the data that is sended by the network cards over ethernet networks

Collisions can decrease network performance.
*** In CSMA/CD it detects that a collision take place and resend the frame that was send. On a wirless network losing bandwidth along with time to detect that a collision took place was not acceptable , so CSMA/CA was utilized. ** CSMA/CD can achieve above 70% efficiency under heavy loads compared to CSMA/CA that can only achieve up to 30% efficiency under heavy loads. CSMA/CA network: A network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and where a station always starts transmission by sending a jam signal; if there is no collision with jam signals from other stations, it begins sending data; otherwise, it stops transmission and then tries again later. CSMA/CD network: A bus network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and in which exception conditions caused by collision are resolved by retransmission
The purpose of the FCS field is to transmit the extra checksum characters added to a frame in "xyz" protocol for error detection. The most popular algorithm I've used is the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) employed in things like ethernet or PPP on a routed network. Keep in mind that ethernet defines that the errored frame should be discarded, but ethernet takes no action to cause the frame to be retransmitted. Typically most tech's see it as unnecessary overhead and opt to rely on CSMA\CD or CSMA\CA if the route is not deemed to carry time sensitive data. Hope that clears things up a bit.
Data transmissions is via frames, each having a single MAC address. The CSMA/CD access method is used to detect collisions.
To prevent collisions.
It is prevent all connected network cards sending at the same time.
No, Ethernet does not use Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). Instead, Ethernet employs Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). In CSMA/CD, devices listen to the network before transmitting and can detect collisions that occur, allowing them to retransmit after a random delay. CSMA/CA is primarily used in wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi, to help prevent collisions from occurring in the first place.
CSMA/CD: Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection.
10BaseT
1.All frames are transmitted on all Ethernet segments 2. shared medium networks use CSMA/CD to access the medium
The IEEE standard that specifies the protocol for Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) is IEEE 802.3. This standard outlines the specifications for Ethernet networks, including the CSMA/CD (Collision Detection) protocol used in wired Ethernet systems. It defines how devices on a network should manage access to the shared communication medium to minimize collisions and ensure efficient data transmission.
look up CSMA/CD.... these days each node can talk whenever it wants thanks to full duplex communication.
