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.
