Collision (telecommunications)

• Collision domain, a physical network segment where data packets can "collide"
• * Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance, used for example with wireless LANs
• * Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection, used with Ethernet
• Late collision, a specific type of collision that shouldn't occur on properly operating networks
• Local collision is a collision that occurs in the network interface rather than on the network itself
