200-301 · Question #1147
Refer to the exhibit. What is occurring on this switch?
The correct answer is A. Frames are dropped after 16 failed transmission attempts. The retransmission algorithm helps to ensure that the packets do not retransmit at the same time. However, if the two devices retry at nearly the same time, packets can collide again; the process repeats until either the packets finally pass onto the network without collisions, o

Explanation
The retransmission algorithm helps to ensure that the packets do not retransmit at the same time. However, if the two devices retry at nearly the same time, packets can collide again; the process repeats until either the packets finally pass onto the network without collisions, or 16 consecutive collisions occur and the packets are discarded.
