Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A collision in computer networking refers to the situation where two or more signals (demands) attempt to pass through a network medium (such as a cable) at the same time, causing interference and resulting in the loss of data. This happens in a network that uses the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) protocol, where devices listen for an idle network before transmitting data and detect collisions if they occur.
