Regarding the Ethernet connection between a host machine and a router/Switch. Does the Ethernet protocol keeps using CSMA/CD since nowadays we have only point to point connection it does not use that mechanism since it is a waste of resources and we do not have any shared medium as before. In addition, what is the most common used encapsulation mode for Ethernet is it with Dix (Ethernet-II) or LLC? asked 24 Jun '15, 17:17  Hany Assasa |
One Answer:
Yes, if the link is in half-duplex mode. In full-duplex mode you don't need it, as you said. Hence it's not being used in full-duplex mode. Today the most common frame format is Ethernet II (DIX). Regards answered 25 Jun '15, 03:47  Kurt Knochner ♦ edited 25 Jun '15, 03:55 |
