Early (1970's) Ethernet was CSMA/CD on long chunks of coax with transceivers at the coax connected to the hosts via a drop cable. There was no carrier on the coax between packets. Modern Ethernet is mostly built with point-to-point links. There aren't any physical collisions. The backpressure that the collision mechanism provides is encoded on the link, either as packets or as some form of out of band signaling. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
