Data Link Layer is the most important Layer in any type of Local Area Network. The main functions of the Data Link Layer is access control and flow control. The efficient implementation of access control protocol, decides the optimal usage of network resources. The backoff algorithm is a very important aspect in access control protocol implementation. Backoff algorithm is used to reduce the probability of frequent collisions when stations try to access the medium simultaneously. The basic Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm, Modified Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm and their drawbacks are analyzed and a new variation called Probability Based Backoff algorithm is proposed, which takes network traffic also into consideration.
