neutral  Edward Plaisance Jr: some of the items are proper names, but this is not...they are all used in "language theory" See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz's_back-off_model and http://www.nltk.org/code

Explanation:
Backoff means the waiting time period when a host has experienced a collision on a network with MAC protocols before attempting to retransmit. The time for backoff is usually random to minimize the probability that the same nodes will collide again. Increasing the backoff period after each collision also helps to prevent repeated collisions, especially when the network is heavily loaded.
