//
// Implements the Ethernet CSMA/CD MAC protocol. It supports building
// both Ethernet CSMA/CD and Ethernet PLCA network interfaces.
//
// Implements the exponential backoff algorithm, sends jam signal
// when a collision is detected, and maintains IFG between signals on the channel.
// It expects complete Ethernet MAC protocol frames containing an Ethernet MAC
// header and an Ethernet FCS.
//
// The lower layer must be connected to a module implementing the ~IEthernetCsmaPhy
// C++ interface. There are two such modules: ~EthernetCsmaPhy and ~EthernetPlca.
// The former can be used to build an Ethernet CSMA/CD network interface, the
// latter can be used to build an Ethernet PLCA network interface.
//
// @see ~EthernetCsmaPhy, ~EthernetPlca, ~EthernetPlcaInterface
