Hey guys, actually not my pc problem but a tough question(at least to me it is a tough one!!) in my assignment.

Ques: In Ethernet bus transmission, sender needs to monitor the line for collision signal after sending message. If the length of backbone is 500 meters and the transmission speed is 250 meters per second, how many seconds must the sender monitor the line for collision signal? Why?

I'd hope some kind souls can help me solve this problem, really do not understand the question at all.

Thks a million! :P
