Not exactly, remember CSMA/CD (Collision Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detect)
Collision Sense tells you to check to see if any other NIC is using the wire
before you start to transmit. However, after you start to transmit, you
should still check for collisions. After all, another NIC (in error) could
start to transmit while you are still sending your message. If you detect a
collision after you start to transmit, you stop transmitting and you will
cause a runt if the frame is 64 octets or shorter.
One cause of runts could be a NIC in full-duplex mode on a half-duplex
collision domain.
