What differences in traffic patterns account for the fact that STDM is a cost-effective form of multiplexing for a voice telephone network and FDM is a cost-effective form of multiplexing for television and radio networks, yet we reject both as not being cost effective for a general- purpose computer network?

please answer (a) and (b) completely. Thanks a lot Consider a 10Mbps Ethernet network consisting of 20 nodes interconnected by a bus topology with a single bridge placed in the approximate center of the network resulting in an equal number of nodes on each side of the bridge. Briefly explain why collisions can/cannot occur. If two pairs of nodes attempted to communicate at the same time, discuss the throughput they can achieve.
