What will be an ideal response?


Multiple access means that all machines have equal access to the wire. If the line is free, any Ethernet node may begin sending a frame. From Ethernet's point of view, it doesn't matter what function the node is performing: it could be a desktop system running Windows 10 or a file server running Windows Server or Linux. As far as Ethernet is concerned, a node is a node is a node and access to the cable is assigned strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
