backoffalgoritmen
Backoffalgoritmen refers to a family of methods used to schedule retry attempts after a failed access or request in order to reduce contention and overload on shared resources. They are widely used in semiconductor networks, computer networks, and distributed systems to minimize repeated collisions and thundering herd effects, while balancing responsiveness and throughput.
In networking, backoff algorithms coordinate access to a common communication channel. In Ethernet networks using CSMA/CD,
In wireless local area networks, such as those using IEEE 802.11, contention-based access employs a similar
Backoff concepts also appear in transport protocols like TCP, where retransmission timeouts can be increased using
The main trade-off in backoff algorithms is between responsiveness and collision/overload avoidance. Properly tuned backoff helps
