Ethernet Collisions

Ethernet Collisions

This small Java application shows how computers on an Ethernet network transmit frames and what happens if two computers try to transmit at the same time.

Each computer transmits packets using it's own color. Collisions are represented by orange, while jams (a special form of a collision) are yellow with the stripe of the sending computer.
