(Or contention period). Minimum time a host must transmit for before it can be sure that no other host' s packet has collided with its transmission. If the maximum propagation delay from one host to any other is T, then a host that starts to transmit at time t0 may collide with a host that starts just before t0 + T. The first host will not detect the collision until time t0 + 2T.
