[OLUG] Collisions?

[Adam Lassek]

Yeah, but unless it's a serious problem, it's not really worth it. The
contention method ethernet uses was specifically designed to detect and work
around collisions. My friends and I set up a LAN party on the weekends, and I
know we have a buttload of collisions going on, just between four machines.  It
doesn't seem to effect the bandwidth at all, though. We did it with a switch
once, and I don't recall a difference.
