[Acronym] for __C__arrier __S__ense __M__ultiple __A__ccess / __C__ollision __D__etection A set of rules determining how network devices respond when two devices attempt to use a data channel simultaneously (called a collision). Standard [Ethernet] networks use [CSMA/CD]. This standard enables devices to detect a collision. After detecting a collision, a device waits a random delay time and then attempts to re-transmit the message. If the device detects a collision again, it waits twice as long to try to re-transmit the message. This is known as exponential back off. [CSMA/CD] is a type of ContentionProtocol. see also [CSMA/CA]
