Networks
What is collision ????..how and why it occurs..??
IF So How avoid collisions?? if collisions are More on a network what is the performance of the Network ????

Collisions ocur when two puters transmit data at the same time. It is unavoidable...no matter how small the network, it will happen. This is where the TCP protocol steps in....it has built in checksums and acknowledgement packets that will assemble packets in the order they were sent....if your puter "knows" that packets are missing, the sending puter is informed of this and re-transmits those packets. Most networks are still quite efficient at sending data because of these "acks". The problem arises moreso on a hubbed network than a switched network because of how the two devices work. I f you have a network that experiences severe slowdowns and you suspect collisions, I suggest you start using switches to separate your network traffic.
Good luck!
