Were avoided later by the concept called CSMA/CD as mentioned below. The system had detected collisions when two frames are simultaneously transmitted by work stations. Robert Metcalfe, engineer who was working with Xerox first inventedĮthernet network in the year 1973 and was used to interconnect and send data between work station and printer.
