ASSIGNMENT 1
1. Collision Domain is any network segment in which there is a possibility of collision this generally occur in an Ethernet network. In other words, a Collison domain can be described as all the connected devices using a shared medium where a collision can occur between any device at any time.
Broadcast Domain: Is composed of all the devices that will receive any broadcast packet beginning from any device inside the network segment. While the amount of devices in the Broadcast Domain increases, amount of broadcasts also increases, and strength of the network will be reduced for because of the following

100BASE-TX 100Mb/s 2 pairs: pins 1 or 2 or3 or 6 This has CAT5 copper cabling per two twisted pairs.
1000BASE-T 1000Mb/s 4 pairs: pins 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 This is highly recommended copper cabling which has four twisted pairs. Each pair is used concurrently at same direction.

10) In CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA there is a high chance for collision to occur.
In CSMA/CA, before a host computer sends data over a wire it will checks the medium to see if the wire is ready for transmission . If the wire is free, it will send a portion of “dummy” data on the wire to check if it collides with any other data which is transmitted . If there are no collision, the host will assume that the real data also will not collide. In token passing, when a host system tries to send data, it should hold the token, which is an empty packet. The token is constantly circling the network at a very high speed. If any workstation wants to transmit, it waits for the token. When the token has reached the workstation, the workstation can take the token from the network, fill it with data, sets the token as in use and puts the token back to the
