Since ethernet networks use the media access type csmacd


Since Ethernet networks use the media access type CSMA/CD, packet collisions are expected. Token Ring networks use the media access type Token Passing, and thus, never have collisions. Why, then, are most new LAN installations Ethernet when collisions and the associated extra overhead required for collision detection and resending packets are an expected part of the Ethernet process?
