ABSTRACT:
An IEEE 802.3 CSMA-CD local area network is arranged with point-to-point links between hosts and repeaters. The devices, whether hosts or repeaters, can ignore a portion of an incoming signal following a collision in order to improve the efficiency of the network. Each device includes a filter to mask the presence of the incoming signal from a consumer, e.g., the MAC sublayer of a network interface or the core of a repeater. If the incoming signal is masked, the devices may transmit an outgoing signal.
