Multiple ccess Methods Fixed assignment artition the channel so each node gets a slice of the bandwidth ssentially circuit switching thus inefficient xamples: M, FM, M (all used in wireless/cellular environments) ontention-based odes contends equally for bandwidth and recover from collisions such as thernet oken-based or reservation-based ake turns using the channel such as token ring onna arren

thernet rrors ollision or runt - imultaneous transmission occurring before slot time has elapsed ate collision - imultaneous transmission occurring after slot time has elapsed Jabber, long frame and range errors - transmission >1504 bytes hort frame, collision fragment or runt - transmission < 64 bytes F / error - orrupted transmission lignment error - Insufficient or excessive number of bits transmitted ange error - ctual and reported number of octets in frame do not match (length field) Ghost or jabber - Unusually long reamble or Jam event onna arren

ypes of witching ymmetric applies the same amount of bandwidth to each active port symmetric can provide variable amounts of bandwidth to each port to do better load balancing ort based memory buffers - use memory tied to port (slower) hares memory buffers only requires a single queue so faster onna arren
witched thernet he advantage the backplane is able to repeat more than one frame in parallel because there is a separate backplane bus line for each node he frame is relayed onto the required output port via the port s own backplane bus line hile collisions are still possible when two concurrently arriving frames are destined for the same station, the probability is approaching zero ach parallel transmission can take place at the switch s maximum speed onna arren
