- collision detection — (networking) A class of methods for sharing a data transmission medium in which hosts transmit as soon as they have data to send and then check to see whether their transmission has suffered a collision with another host's.

For example, the CSMA/CD protocol used on Ethernet specifies that they should then wait for a random time before re-transmitting. See also backoff. This contrasts with slotted protocols and token passing.

The transport service will guarantee that all data will be delivered to the other end in the same order as sent and without duplication. Communication proceeds through three well-defined phases: connection establishment, data transfer, connection release. The most common example is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), another is ATM. The network nodes at either end needs to inform all intermediate nodes about their service requirements and traffic parameters in order to establish communication. Opposite of connectionless, datagram. See also circuit switching, packet switching, virtual circuit.
