Collision Domains and LAN Segments
Collisions are confined to a physical wire over which data is
broadcast. Because the physical wires are subject to signal collisions,
individual LAN segments are known as collision domains. Although the
physical limitations on the length of an Ethernet cable restrict the
length of a LAN segment, multiple collision domains can be interconnected
by repeaters, bridges, and switches.
