What level of collisions is acceptable?
More than 100 collisions per second is an indication of a significant problem. Both voice and computer data performance will suffer from this level of collisions. The causes of a high level of collisions can include the following: • Too many devices connected to a single segment. • Devices on the network using too many different protocols. • A malfunctioning device on the network.Because a high level of collisions will result in poor voice quality from an IP Phone system, you must isolate and eliminate the cause of the high collision rate before installing such a system.
