- supahfly_remix 8y agoNo. Wired ethernet hasn't used collison-based protocols in a long time. It's point-to-point now, not shared.
- dublin 8y agoActually, even though most connections are switched point-to-point these days, any properly functioning implementation (definitely up through 100Mbps) must still implement CSMA/CD. It's required for proper functioning of Ethernet hubs and some bridges!
