Analysis of a stack algorithm for CSMA-CD random length packet communication
Philippe Jacquet, E. Merle · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1990
An exact performance evaluation of the free-access stack collision resolution algorithm is given under the hypotheses of carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA-CD) local area network communication with packets of different length. In particular, the packet delay moments (mean and variance) and the maximum throughput that the system achieves for any given packet length distribution are precisely described.>
