9.6.2 Ethernet - Using Switches 
 

7 Why do hosts on an Ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random delay before attempting to transmit a frame? 
 
 A random delay is used to ensure a collision-free link.  
 A random delay value for each device is assigned by the manufacturer.  
 A standard delay value could not be agreed upon among networking device vendors.  
 =A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision during the transmission.

9.4.2 CSMA/CD - The Process 
 

8

In the graphic, Host A has reached 50% completion in sending a 1 KB Ethernet frame to Host D when Host B wishes to transmit its own frame to Host C. What must Host B do? 
 
 Host B can transmit immediately since it is connected on its own cable segment.  
 Host B must wait to receive a CSMA transmission from the hub, to signal its turn.  
 Host B must send a request signal to Host A by transmitting an interframe gap.  
 =Host B must wait until it is certain that Host A has completed sending its frame.
