In an Ethernet network where multiple devices must contend for access because they all connect to the same physical medium, which type of connection is being utilized?
An Ethernet shared media connection involves multiple devices connected to the same communication medium. Because they share the medium, devices must use protocols like Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) to manage access and avoid collisions. Point-to-point connections involve a direct link between two devices without shared access issues. Full-duplex connections allow simultaneous transmission and reception between devices but typically occur in switched networks where each device has a dedicated connection. Switched Ethernet connections use switches to create separate collision domains, reducing collisions and contention for access.
