Re: CSMA/CD [7:41105]

It's not in an RFC. It's in IEEE 802.3. You can get the IEEE specs here:

http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/

They aren't very easy to read, though, and finding info in them is 
difficult. There's no index. ARGH. ;-)

In the meantime, be sure to check out Charles Spurgeon's Ethernet Web Site 
here:

http://www.ethermanage.com/ethernet/ethernet.html

and WildPackets Technical Compendium here:

http://www.wildpackets.com/compendium/main/

and my paper on Ethernet Troubleshooting here:

Go right to the source:

http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/

There is no RFC, per se.  IEEE created the standard.

Since ethernet  csmacd are somewhat incidental to the evolution of the
Internet (which responds to such technologies based upon their success or
failure rather than any necessity-based dependencies), you might be better
served by the content found in different forums, such as priscilla's
certzone paper, the wildpackets/oed compendium, the IEEE 802.3 PDF (made
freely available less than a month after I bought it) or any of charles
spurgeon's online work at the university of texas website. A number of RFCs
describe ethernet, but I haven't found any that cover the level of detail
you seem to be looking for (disclaimer: I'm only on # 1287).
