The CSMA-CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection, and is used

primarily for communications. More specifically, it works by way of the carrier sensing
protocol. For example, if information is being relayed, but another signal comes up, the
CSMA-CD will terminate the data transmission and broadcast a jamming indicator instead.
Upon completion of the task it will resume the transmission of the preceding data. 

An analogy would be a conversation between two people. Each take turns in speaking, so
that information flows properly. That is how the Carrier Sense works. The Multiple Access on
the other hand, can be likened when there are several people who take turns airing their
opinions. The Collision Detection can be compared with two people who stop talking when
they realize that they are speaking at the same time. 

For CSMA-CD to work correctly, it is best that the channels in the network should be signal
free so that transmission can be done smoothly. If there is one, that will be called the
Carrier. If there is none, then the term Carrier Sense will be applied instead. The term
multiple access on the other hand, refers to those systems wherein the interfaces are of
equal priority and can transmit frames throughout the network. 

The collision detection in CSMA-CD that was mentioned earlier functions when the interfaces
start relaying out signals simultaneously. This can happen because the transmission of data
is not instantaneous. In other words, if the Ethernet system gets clogged up, the CSMA-CD
will take the steps necessary to unblock it. 

The collision detector of the CSMA-CD functions by releasing its own signal. In some
Ethernet systems it is the 24 mA. This relays a cyclic redundancy error (CRC), serving
notice to all other nodes that may be relaying data and information that the process is to be
temporarily halted. 

Given the importance of this network protocol, and its complexity, it is only proper that time
is spent on learning the processes and the proper procedures. If you are going to set up this
network protocol, be sure you are conversant with the techniques or that you have someone
who is versed in its installation with you. 

Because network protocols like the CSMA-CD are such vital cogs, they are almost always
being upgraded, so be sure that you keep yourself updated on any and all pertinent
information related to the subject. Doing so will allow your system to be kept updated with
all the necessary components, software fixes, utilities and security patches. 

The CSMA-CD performs vital functions in computer networks, and with the increased
reliance of people on these systems for transferring data and communications,
understanding how they work will help you assess the state of your networks easily.
DUBAI: Pakistani cricket team wicketkeeper
Zulqarnain Haider went missing from hotel room in
Dubai this morning, Geo News reported Monday.

The wicketkeeper Haider is missing from his hotel

room since 6am this morning.

Sources said he was last seen at 630am while

leaving his room.

The wicketkeeper said in his Facebook post he was

leaving cricket as someone gave him bad message
on losing in last match.

The wicketkeeper words are: ‘leaving pakistan

cricket because get bad msg fr 1 man fr lose the
match in last game.’

Also, a message from Zulqarnain’s mobile received

on cellphone of a friend and Geo News
correspondent Sohail Imran, said he is leaving the
cricket as someone is giving him murder threats.

The SMS received on Sohail Imran’s mobile phone

said, ‘Match haar jao’ (Lose match.)
In his second MSM, the cricketer said he is leaving
for England; however, this claim sounds absurd, as
team management has passports of all the
cricketers.

Talking to Geo News, Zulqarnain’s brother Aqil

Haider said his brother talked to the family last
night, urging all to pray to Allah for his brother.

Omar Akmal will play as wicketkeeper in today’s

match.

Team management announced three changes in

the squad for today’s match. Zulqarnain Haider’s
name is not included. Muhammed Yousuf, who flew
shortly to Dubai, has been included in the squad
for strengthening batting line. 

A Source said Shahid Aslam saw the wicketkeeper

leaving his room at around 6am; he intercepted
Haider, who told he is leaving to receive his
relatives and would be back after some time.
However, he was not seen around again.
