Line 9:
== CSMA/CA does not use RTS/CTS ==
The article incorrectly states that CSMA/CA uses RTS/CTS. That is an improvement in the MACA protocol and is ''optional'' in 802.11 protocol.
== Jamming signals ==
It says in the "Usage" sub-heading:
Apple's LocalTalk implemented CSMA/CA on an electrical bus using a three-byte jamming signal
What exactly is this jamming signal? Isnt jamming signal sent when a collision is detected in the network to warn the other hosts connected to the CSMA network about the collision? If so, doesnt this make it CSMA/CD rather than CSMA/CA?
