What are the differences between Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)?

CSMA/CD is a media access control (MAC) protocol that allows devices on a shared network to transmit data without interfering with each other. It does this by requiring devices to wait a short amount of time after a transmission has finished before attempting to transmit again. If two devices transmit at the same time, the one with the higher priority will win and the other will have to wait before trying to transmit again.

CSMA/CA is similar to …
