  1. How does a host on an Ethernet LAN know when to transmit after a collision has occurred?
    1. In a CSMA/CD collision domain, multiple stations can successfully transmit data simultaneously.
    2. In a CSMA/CD collision domain, stations must wait until the media is not in use before transmitting.
    3. You can improve the CSMA/CD network by adding more hubs.
    4. After a collision, the station that detected the collision has first priority to resend the lost data.
    5. After a collision, all stations run a random backoff algorithm. When the backoff delay period has expired, all stations have equal priority to transmit data.
