If two different devices try to transmit to a common device at the same time, switches suffer from a problem in the collision domain. The packets are not readable and, in effect, dropped. The original transmitters each wait a random amount of time to retransmit in hopes of having a clear path. This is a common problem in modern network switches. T/F

False

Explanation:

In Computer Networking, If two different devices try to transmit to a common device at the same time, switches break up the collision domain with each device connected to each port in order to achieve a faster throughput by expanding the broadcast domain.
