. When a collision occurs in a network using CSMA/CD, how do hosts with data to transmit respond after the backoff period has expired?

The hosts return to a listen-before-transmit mode.

The hosts creating the collision have priority to send data.

The hosts creating the collision retransmit the last 16 frames.

The hosts extend their delay period to allow for rapid transmission.

10.

. Why do hosts on an Ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random delay before attempting to transmit a frame?

A random delay is used to ensure a collision-free link.

A random delay value for each device is assigned by the manufacturer.

A standard delay value could not be agreed upon among networking device vendors.

A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision during the transmission.

Host A has an IP address of 172.16.225.93 and a mask of 255.255.248.0. Host A needs to communicate with a new host whose IP is 172.16.231.78. Host A performs the ANDing operation on the destination address. What two things will occur? (Choose two.)

Host A will change the destination IP to the IP of the nearest router and forward the packet.

Host A will broadcast an ARP request for the MAC of its default gateway.

A result of 172.16.225.0 will be obtained.

Host A will broadcast an ARP request for the MAC of the destination host.

A result of 172.16.224.0 will be obtained.

A result of 172.16.225.255 will be obtained.

In the graphic, Host A has reached 50% completion in sending a 1 KB Ethernet frame to Host D when Host B wishes to transmit its own frame to Host C. What must Host B do?

Host B can transmit immediately since it is connected on its own cable segment.

Host B must wait to receive a CSMA transmission from the hub, to signal its turn.

Host B must send a request signal to Host A by transmitting an interframe gap.

Host B must wait until it is certain that Host A has completed sending its frame.
