  4. Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple...

    The jam signal or jamming signal is a signal that carries a 32-bit binary pattern sent by a data station to inform the other transmitting stations of the collision and that they must not transmit. [9] [10] The maximum jam-time is calculated as follows: The maximum allowed diameter of an Ethernet installation is limited to 232 bits. This makes a ...

    In contrast, the outflow of a wide moving jam determines a condition for the existence of the wide moving jam, i.e., the traffic phase J while the jam propagates in free flow: Indeed, if the jam propagates through free-flow (i.e., both upstream and downstream of the jam free flows occur), then a wide moving jam can persist, only when the jam ...
