Tweaking the CSMA/CD Protocal using a System Buffer

Nishant Kumar Singh

Abstract: Carrier sense multiple access protocol with collision detections (CSMA/CD) frequently experiences execution issues which hampers the performance due to collisions while transmission inside a networking environment. The work introduced in this paper is an answer for the problem of packet starvation effect [1] by joining discoveries from already performed examination for enhancing the CSMA/CD. The suggested model; utilizes a system buffer which is placed as a part of system in network to stay away from multiple collisions while permitting conduct to resort once again to standard IEEE 802.3 (CSMA/CD) in case the buffer crashes; in this manner characterizing it as both centralized & decentralized multiple access protocol. Moreover; we marginally alter the Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm to permit the buffer strength over the network & every node makes use of a locking variable; this lock fundamentally controls when a node on the network will should start the transition.
