  1. Explain back-off-timer and what methodology is it used in.
    Back-off-timer is the technology used when a network device notices a collision of its data on the wire, it is the time waited to retransmit its data.
  2. What is the name of the procedure utilitizing back-off-timer methodology?
    Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
  3. Explain the break down of CSMA/CD
    • Carrier Sense is the devices method of listening on the wire to ensure no data frames are being transmitted.
