Create a short essay (1 to 3 pages) that examines and explains how CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection) works.  You will need to do some research to understand CSMA/CD.

Discuss what a collision is, and why collisions may occur.  Discuss how collision domains can be managed to minimize the probability of a collision.  Include in your discussion the equipment that you would use to reduce collisions and how you would design a network using that equipment to reduce collisions.

Include your references at the end of your essay.
