Talk:Collision domain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Efficiency and number of collision domains

I removed this broad statement:

"The more collisions in a network the less efficient it is."

... because it's not really true. If you have a very large number of nodes transmitting on a single collision domain, an extremely high collision rate would lower efficiency. There's a balance between too many and too few domains. It's been a few years since networking class, so I can't remember enough to explain well. But for now I'm at least taking it out. ~ Booya ^Bazooka 05:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Four switches

Removed another bit of text:

"With Ethernet if you have more than four switches in one network then you are likely to extend the broadcast domain."

... Because I have no idea what it means. I believe this to be the result of poor writing, and I doubt that many other readers will understand it either. Maybe it's trying to refer to the 5-4-3 rule? ~ Booya ^Bazooka 05:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
