this might be one of the _least_ specific (but not completely non-specific) paragraphs in any specification i've ever read

4.2.3.2.4 Collision detection and enforcement (half duplex mode only)
Collisions are detected by monitoring the collisionDetect signal provided by the Physical Layer. When a
collision is detected during a packet transmission, the transmission is not terminated immediately. Instead,
the transmission continues until additional bits specified by jamSize have been transmitted (counting from
the time collisionDetect went on). This collision enforcement or jam guarantees that the duration of the
collision is sufficient to ensure its detection by all transmitting stations on the network. The content of the
jam is unspecified; it may be any fixed or variable pattern convenient to the Media Access implementation;
however, the implementation shall not be intentionally designed to be the 32-bit CRC value corresponding
to the (partial) packet transmitted prior to the jam.
