Question

Suppose two hosts (Host-A and Host-B) are connected through a shared Ethernet bus of 1 Mbps. The distance between two nodes is 5 meters.  The signal propagation speed over physical media is 2.5 x 10^5 meters/second.

  1. Suppose both hosts sense idle channel at the same time and start transmission. Will it result in collision (yes or no)? Explain.
  2. If yes, How much time is needed to detect this collision at Host-A? Show working.
  3. If yes, How much time is needed to detect this collision at Host-B? Show working.
