You're closer to being correct on your first answer, but each station won't get exactly 1MB. Ethernet is shared medium. In CSMA/CD, the MA means Multiple Access. All stations on that link are competing for bandwidth on the link. If 9 of the stations are idle and one station wants to transmit it will have a lot of the bandwidth available. If more stations transmit then less bandwidth will be available per station.
This doesn't mean that each station gets the same amount of bandwidth, though. Link usage in ethernet is very dynamic depending on traffic patterns. HTH, John >>> "xie rootstock" 10/22/01 9:56:57 AM >>> is shared means that there is a 10M ethernet, if there are 10 station in this network, every station has the 1M? or is shared means that there is a 10M ethernet, if there are 10 station in this network every station has the 10M bandwidth when you transmisstion, (csma/cd) after this station trasmisted, another can transmit and has 10M bandwidth. which is right? thanks for answered :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=23789&t=23764 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
