Think
of a dozen students sitting around the dorm
|
|
|
telling
stories …
|
|
|
|
o |
Everyone
listens while one person tells his/her story
|
|
|
|
o |
When
the story is finished, there is a pause
|
|
|
|
o |
A
person with a story to tell starts talking, listening all the
|
|
|
while
|
|
|
|
; |
If
no one else started talking too, the person continues
|
|
|
; |
If
others started talking, he/she stops and waits briefly
|
|
|
before
trying again
|

In
Ethernet, only the computers actually
|
|
|
communicating
listen to the transmission … the
|
|
|
others
simply wait for the break
