I’ve been reading the USB-C and USB-PD specs lately and I keep alternating between “this is pretty well designed” and “i want some of what they’re smoking at the USB-IF”

Anyway I think USB-PD over USB-C is the first protocol I’ve come across to implement what I’m terming VSMA/CA (Voltage Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) as a channel access arbitration strategy
