In a network using carrier sense, each frame must be long enough so that a collision or jam signal may be detected by the transmitting station while this frame is being transmitted. Its minimum length is therefore determined by the round-trip propagation time. 4, record 1, English, - round%2Dtrip%20propagation%20time
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Propagation time. The time required for a signal to travel from one end of the network to the other. The round-trip propagation time also includes the time to propagate back to the transmitting station to detect errors, or contention for network resources. 5, record 1, English, - round%2Dtrip%20propagation%20time

La distance satellite-Terre est déterminée par la mesure du temps de propagation aller-retour d'un signal périodique. 3, record 1, French, - temps%20de%20propagation%20aller%2Dretour

Dans un réseau utilisant la détection de porteuse, chaque trame doit être assez longue pour que la station émettrice puisse détecter une éventuelle collision ou un éventuel signal de bourrage, pendant la transmission de cette trame. Sa longueur minimale est donc déterminée par le temps de propagation aller-retour. 2, record 1, French, - temps%20de%20propagation%20aller%2Dretour
