Layers: Physical — digital bits as analog signals Data link — frames of digital bits over one link Network — packets of frames over multiple links Transport — end-to-end packet delivery Application — what the user needs
to compute hamming distance, xor the two bit strings and count the number of ones.
CDMA — code division multiple access, in physical layer with that chip sequence bullshit
CSMA — carrier sense multiple access, in mac protocol difference in CSMA types (MAC protocol)
1-persistent — always listens to channel, sends as soon as idle
nonpersistent — senses channel, if not idle waits a random period of time and tries again. does not always listen.
p-persistent — some probability fuckshit
