Minor correction: The distance limitation is defined so that if a station 
is transmitting a minimum-size frame (64 bytes) and a collision occurs at 
the other end of the network, the collision will reflect back to the sender 
while the sender is still sending. If this didn't happen, the sender would 
have stopped monitoring for a collision with its transmission, and would 
not automatically retry. An upper layer would have to retransmit, which 
takes a lot longer.

A late collision is one that happens past the preamble and past the first 
64 bytes of the frame. A collision within the first 64 bytes is legal, 
normal, and not late.
