This document discusses controlled-access methods for networks including reservation, polling, and token passing. It also mentions CSMA/CD, a protocol for Ethernet networks that defines how devices respond when simultaneous data transmission causes a collision. CSMA/CD allows multiple access over a shared link and resolves data collisions.

1. Reservation 2. Polling 3. Token Passing CSMA/CD is a protocol Reason 1:. As indicated by the CSMA name, the Ethernet is a multiple-access network, meaning that a set of nodes sends and receives frames over a shared link. Reason 2 It defines how network devices respond when two devices attempt to use a data channel simultaneously and encounter a data collision.
