Thanks Mr. Cannara,

I don't know the WRL report. but Vernon has gaven me some useful helps.

Please feel free to send me a copy of the paper on "offered load".

Vernon's email hints that if there are n machines sharing one common
segment,
the bandwidth of each node can be fairly allocated up to 1/n of the
total bandwidth.
because of "colliding". So does colliding result in triggering CSMA/CD
restransmit?
I remember that one email said "NO". It concludes that packet loss is
possibly caused
by ethernet collision, right?
