    • We analyze the behavior of the Ethernet in networks with a small number of active stations, and describe what is known as the Ethernet capture effect. Where a station transmits consecutive packets exclusively for a prolonged period despite other stations contending for access. The capture effect causes transient unfairness, which results in substantial performance degradation. We report measurements using TCP/IP that show the performance degradation. A solution is proposed that effectively… CONTINUE READING
