contention slot
(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.
