CSMA/CD protocol is used in ethernet .
it stands for carrier sense multiple access / collision detection.
whenever a collision takes place sending device waits for a specific time (decided by random backoff algorithm) and resents frame.

The sender waits for some specific period of time and back off algorithm is used and a jam signal is sent after which communication starts again.

When a collision occurs,
• A Jam Signal is sent.
• All hosts briefly stop transmitting.
• All hosts run the backoff algorithm, which decides the random time they will wait before attempting to transmit again.
