//
// Implements the Ethernet CSMA/CD PHY protocol. It supports building
// both Ethernet CSMA/CD and Ethernet PLCA network interfaces.
//
// This module detects the carrier signal and collisions on the channel. Frames
// are received correctly if there are no overlapping transmissions or receptions.
// It also supports sending special Ethernet signals: jam, commit, and beacon.
//
// The upper layer must be connected to a module implementing the ~IEthernetCsmaMac
// C++ interface. There are two such modules: ~EthernetCsmaMac 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
