What (who) is collision domain - definition
Collision domain
![[[Hidden node problem]]: Devices A, B and C are in the same collision domain. A and C are both communicating with B, but are unaware of each other.](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Wifi hidden station problem.svg?width=200 "[[Hidden node problem]]: Devices A, B and C are in the same collision domain.

NETWORK SEGMENT WHERE COLLISIONS BETWEEN SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSIONS ARE POSSIBLE
Ethernet collision domain
A collision domain is a network segment connected by a shared medium or through repeaters where simultaneous data transmissions collide with one another. The collision domain applies particularly in wireless networks, but also affected early versions of Ethernet.
Hash collision
COMPUTER SCIENCE SITUATION WHERE TWO DATA ELEMENTS SHARE A HASHTAG, CHECKSUM, FINGERPRINT, ETC.
Hash collisions; Hash collision (computer science); Cryptographic hash collision
In computer science, a hash collision or clash is when two pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value. The hash value in this case is derived from a hash function which takes a data input and returns a fixed length of bits.

Hash collisions; Hash collision (computer science); Cryptographic hash collision
<programming> (Or "hash clash") When two different keys hash
to the same value, i.e. to the same location in a {hash
table}.
ESR once asked a friend what he expected Berkeley to be
like. The friend replied, "Well, I have this mental picture
of naked women throwing Molotov cocktails, but I think that's
just a collision in my hash tables."
