Title: RE: question : ethernet collision rule of thumb... Yes, you will always have some collisions on a shared medium like Ethernet (obviously I'm not included a switched environment). The general guideline is that for IP you should have no more than 500 hosts on a flat network segment

There is a book written by Scott Haugdahl called Network Analysis and Troubleshooting ISBN 0201433192 and he has a pretty good discussion on collisions, there are lots of factors that go into the number (length of the segment, number of users, etc) but I think that above 5% was where he'd start ge

It depends on what type of collisions, and whether or not your device can report the various cases (or finding out what they are called). Collisions aren't that horrible. They get requeued for transmission. Deferred transmits occur when a packet is read to be transmitted but the media is 'busy
